Yeah, Peggy Sue, I was aware that your area was prone to occasional flooding. What I wasn’t aware of was how bad some of the flash flooding can be. Many of the pictures in this link show that there was not only fast moving water, but also contained debris that caused damage.

I found this pix comment interesting.
In response the city built Olmos Dam pictured here. Usually it has no water behind it, but as you can see, water is only a few feet below the the spillway at the far end.
Up here, dams are *mostly* used to preserve the water supply for downstream usage. Is the Olmos Dam used primarily for flood control, or is it used for both?

Your rain dance worked… It showered here Thursday for a while.
Just in case it worked because I was the message’s recipient, I’ll try to redirect the Rain God back to you.

IF that works… Don’t forget that you mentioned the possibility of showers on Friday, (and I peeked at San Antonio’s weather forecast).
