Fire ants don't eat wood. !3000 people without power in Dallas from falling tree limbs. This wind is ridiculous.

I've got about 1/2" in my gauge. Or I should say, the little orange thingy has been stuck on about 1/2" sine yesterday. &^%#@*)# live oak hanging way over in my yard dumping those ^%#% leaves by the truck load. I may put my waders on and see if I can make it out there to see what I really have in it. I'll have to wait until the current slows a bit. Looks like it may be around 4".

My gauge is still broken at the 1" mark, so that is all I got, once again. But it does look a little wetter then that.

Al received 3.70" according to my old trusted gauge and 4 1/8" according to my new one that was cheap but seems crappy even though it was well rated.

So I'm going with 3.70" inches and leaving a bad review for the other one. :D

Looks like I got a lot more than Pipeline.

Got a look at mine. 3.9".

It was a great test for my new gutters, drops, drains, stone, beds etc. I'm very happy. :D

At about the same time roofers were working on two houses under construction in Carlisle. :roll:
