Last night the eye of tropical storm Hermine passed right over Brownwood. Even after 500 miles of crossing land it was still pretty impressive. The winds were gusting to around 30 mph and we had over 3 inches of rain. We may get more but not like the Austin - San Antonio area. Some parts of that area have received 10 or more inches and areas along some rivers have been evacuated. More rain is forecast for that area today and tonight. This storm was in the gulf only a short time but was very powerful as it swept across Texas. It is forecast to reach into Kansas before dying out.
We lost a peach tree and our garden was nearly flattened but that can be fixed easily. We are thankful for the rain. we hope some fell near the lake and replenished our water supply. We were desperately in need of rain in this part of Texas.
