Tropical Storm Lee

We have really been lucky to not have a hurricane or tropical storm in a couple years. I didn't know about Lee until he was almost here!! Turned on the weather to hear that there was a storm in the Gulf. Boy, did I almost freak out!! Then I saw it was a tropical storm. Still a little worrisome when there is a lot of wind involved. All that night the rains and the wind came. Fortunately we didn't have too much damage... other than Dakota's toys blown all over the yard and back by the pond. We had to make a trip into Gonzales to get groceries so off we went. I decided to take the camera just in case we came across any thing interesting. 

and we found this!! tree took out the line.. just the lines. poles a little slanted.. but no injuries..

The water is up, but not flooding the road.. yet.. as of Sunday (today) our road was shut down because of flooding.

 Flooding on the island..  Head of Island is what it is called. we know the owner and he wasn't home. good thing he put his motorbike on his porch! 

Apparently this man was smart when he built his house.. put a levee around so when it rains he doesn't flood. there is usually just grass there.. It is all around his property.

We still have the rain falling and every once in a while our television will get that tornado siren warning us of tornado's. Haven't heard any touch down anywhere close to us which is good. I don't like tornado's or anything that sounds remotely close to one. The greatest is that we still have power. So we are thanking our lucky stars and hoping this storm will pass over.
