Hope everyone is ready and prepared in Texas for Beryl. Looks like it has lost a lot of force.Hope it's just not too bad.

Not gonna effect you, hopefully?

[Joe Breaux]

[T-boss 410]

Lol, like you need more rain in the swamp 🤣 

[Travis]

Here in central Texas, we were hoping to get some rain from Beryl.  Not a drop.  😞

yeah, we didnt get much either.. my grass needed watering

Rainfall has been great this year up until 6 weeks ago.  Looks like I'll have to start bringing in hay.  Tough to make any money on cattle when you spend so much on hay.  But, that problem pales in comparison to the suffering my fellow Texans are experiencing.  I have family in Houston.  I have not heard from them in a few days, which is common for events like this.  Hoping the city is healthy.  It was great to see so many people in attendance at the Astros game last night.

We had a severe drought last summer here.Quite unusual for us. Hottest summer in my lifetime. We had heat index over 120 degrees for 2 weeks.  Killed our Crawfish industry. Ponds ,lakes,bayous dried up.Its been normally wet this year.

Yes ... I have seen the results of that in the price of crawfish here.  Tried to have my annual crawfish boil ... settled for shrimp instead because of the cost.

Well we got more than we bargained for

sustained winds excess of 50MPH probably. Hurricane force gusts. 10 trees uprooted in the pasture,  Power went out Monday morning around 7:45 and came on 9:00PM wednesday night. Still alot of people without power.

That sucks, but I guess it could have been worse.
