I live in Palestine and I'm worried about the high winds and flooding. I've got a tree surgeon on the way to do some tree trimming and other work, long overdue. I was wondering about Longview myself just up there last Sunday. We need the rain but not like this. They say that the extended drouth we have been in makes the trees more suseptible to toppling over with the sandy soil we have down here. I was told that Sutherland's was having emergency generators jumping off the shelves last night.
I think this one is going to be very bad.
Power Co. left a tag on my front door stating they'll be doing some trimming on my two trees in the front yard. I have a 75' tall pine and a 50' tall maple. I guess they know something is up with the winds. I always have large branches falling when the winds got past 15 to 25 mph during storms.
I also have a creek/storm drainage canal next to my house. I hope flooding will not be a big factor by the time it all gets here.
Stay safe and check in.
