People are going to find those picturesque little creeks running through their property have become massive torrents. I hope most of them have bugged out. Inland flooding is horrible. I can remember going through chest high water when I was 14 or so with a friend to rescue a little old lady whose house was just a little too near one of those picturesque little creeks. There weren't even any gators, just snakes and the current on that side of the house wasn't strong. Southeast Texas has gators.
