Will Incoming Extreme Texas Flooding Reach Biblical Level Requiring An Ark?

Well, this is not good. Earlier today I heard the incoming rain would be delivering between one inch to three over the next few days.

But, the forecast I just read on Facebook, via one of the best weathermen in Texas, John Basham, it will be between 6 and 14 inches which will be hitting the ground between now and Sunday.

Are the reservoirs drained enough from last June's deluge to be able to handle this?

Below is what Meteorologist John Basham had to about what is heading our way....

EXTREME FLOODING FORECAST- FOR A LARGE PART OF TEXAS - ISSUED: 200PM CDT WED OCT 21 2015 - Heavy and Flooding Rainfall is Possible across a large part of Texas through this Sunday including the very populated Interstate 35 Corridor. The Cities of Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi are in the area where significant flooding rainfall can occur through Sunday. Computer modeling forecasts show this area receiving between 6 and 14 inches of rain through Sunday evening. Isolated amounts along the Red River in Northeast Texas could easily exceed 1 foot of rainfall through this time period. This is a serious flooding risk. Persons in these areas who live near low lying or flood prone areas should be prepared to seek higher ground. Persons who have equipment, livestock, or pets in flood prone areas need to move them now as flash flooding will not afford you the time to save your stock, property, or pets. This is a potentially dangerous situation across a large part of Texas. Emergency Managers, First Responders, and National & State Guard forces should prepare for an emergency flooding scenario across a large region. We will be updating this forecast as new data offers greater resolution to the flooding threat. THIS IS NOT AN NWS PRODUCT. Meteorologist John Austin Basham Storm Spotter 

Texas Flooding Turns Dallas Into Port City Directly Connected To The Gulf Of Mexico

I saw that which you see here a few minutes ago on Facebook.

In the midst of the ongoing storms we do not yet know the total cost in lives lost and property damage.

It is not easy to make lemonade out of a sour lemon like the current flood state in Texas.

But.

The Dallas zone has long wanted to be a port city. There have been more than one goofy attempt to turn the Trinity River into a shipping canal connecting the D/FW Metroplex to the Gulf of Mexico.

And now, according to this map, Mother Nature has opted to turn Dallas and Fort Worth into port towns with direct access to the Gulf.

This should please a lot of people, like chronic cruiser, Gar the Texan.

Soon, Gar should be able to sail directly out of Dallas, rather than making the long tedious drive to Galveston to get aboard a cruise ship every couple months....

It's Been Raining In Texas Since Blue Bell Closed Because God Is Crying

I saw that which you see here this morning on Facebook.

I thought it to be amusing, for a couple seconds, til I thought about it and then it wasn't so amusing.

But, a lot of people commenting about that which you see here found it amusing.

Deconstructing the humor, which is what one really should always do with humor, the premise of this humor is that the massive deadly Texas flooding has been caused by God crying due to His sadness over Blue Bell closing.

Now, really, would an All Mighty God, full of love for the humans He created, let loose a Biblical flood, drowning only God knows how many people, destroying only God knows how many homes, costing only God knows how much in property damage, just because a Texas ice cream maker had to shut down due to the fact their contaminated ice cream was killing people.

Should not the All Seeing and All Knowing All Mighty have seen the Listeria problem and put a magical stop to it?

Why would He let that Listeria get into Texas ice cream and then get all Cry Baby when a supply of Blue Bell can no longer be supplied to His freezer?

And let's be realistic here, it ain't like there is not other good ice cream available in America.

Has the Brenham home of Blue Bell been in the path of the rampaging floods caused by God's sad tears?

The Wrath of God can be so random and difficult to fathom for us mere mortals....
