Somebody's gonna get wet

Unfortunately it's not going to be north central Texas:

I think SE Texas is safe too. We didn't get anything out of the latest round at the house. As soon as the yard guys get done today, I gotta get about 5000 gallons of water on the grass. We could use 6 inches today and it would still be dry. Most of the cities around here are on water restrictions. Our city's are still voluntary, but several around here are not.

At this point, I'm pretty sure the house is going on the market as soon as the lake is full. Probably next spring unless we get a tropical system in before then. That boathouse and pier isn't worth $0.10 with 150' of dirt between it and water and that's where it's heading

I hear ya on market value. When the lakes around here dropped last summer, property got cheap and quick. There was a big to do about mowing what was formerly underwater past the bulk heads. That, and it all became a big attraction for the 4 wheel crowd. Lake Houston turned into a giant pasture for the most part and Lake Sommerville was a dust storm. When you start looking on the coast, keep in mind insurance has turned into a nightmare. My flood went up 14% this year and I had to jump hoops to get reasonable windstorm. It's debatable if windstorm can even pay out this year if we get hit. What we need is a slow moving tropical storm to dump about a foot of rain on the whole state at once. Even then, it would still be behind.

The computer models are shifting west. The yellow terminus needs to stretch about 700 miles farther west and sit there for 4 or 5 days.
