San Antonio washed away! Read all about it HERE~!

[FlyRod]

It's 0115 hrs here, Wednesday, and we've begun to see the tail end of a very violent patch of t'storms. There was a tornado reported South of town, but no further info as yet.
I was 20+ miles up IH10, in Boerne, as the main blast hit San Antonio, but had to drive back into the worst of it shortly after Midnight. On the bright side, I "convoyed" a drop-dead lovely 20-something lady back to SA. She lives a scan distance from me, y'see.
At times we were slowed to 30 MPH due to winds and blinding rain and came close to hydroplaning several times. The lightning show was awe-inspiring as well. She was in a lil' Mustang and that worried me as I followed behind. She's obviously a good and sensible driver and handled it all very, very, well.
If you're still awake, check your radar for our local area and you can see what we were subjected to.

This has been a wet spring!

UPDATE! 0130 hrs. Just watched TV report from Eagle Pass TX, a border city between Laredo and Del Rio (Lake Amistad). Apparently, a tornado or super-strong winds devastated a "colonia". Six people are confirmed dead and the count may rise as further rescue efforts continue.
By way of explanation, "colonias" (colonies) are settlements of mostly illegal meskin immigrants. They are created on land sold by unscrupulous ***----s and the houses are, well, less than palatial. There are no water, electrical, or sewer services, at least at the outset, but then the wetbacks start demanding these services, expecting them for free, and the sorry-a-- liberal Dummocrat politicians, themselves usually of meskin descent, give them what they want...at OUR expense.
That being said, I grieve for the dead, share the sorrow of those who loved them, and hope there will be no more bodies discovered. I never said they deserved to die (except for the drug dealers among them) and I'm sorry that some have. I just wish they'd all been safely blown so deep into meh-hee-ko that they could never make their way back.

Fed up to HERE!
Have a nice day.
