Tuesday afternoon, I was standing outside with my daughter talking and a swarm of bees came over her car. At first, I thought they were gnats, but we heard them buzzing.
Sam Houston needed a miracle. Thousands of troops were charging into Texas from Mexico, threatening all that Texas settlers had built and all that they attempted to defend. Heartbreaking defeats at the Alamo and Goliad had severely damaged the army and morale. Now on the run in the spring of 1836, the hopes of Texas lay with him.
According to the local Weather Watcher, TXATLBL1, “Storms moved through the area on Friday afternoon and again on Sunday afternoon. As of right now, the National Weather Service says all damage during both events is only straight-line winds. Right now, there are no confirmed touchdowns or tornadoes. Surveys are still ongoing as we speak. I will post on my Facebook page their findings for official publication. I only ended up with 0.84” of rainfall for both events at my location. There were 20,000+ electric customers without power across the area Friday night. And last night’s storm was even higher. At one point Swepco was showing 58,000+ customers without power from our area over into Louisiana.” Brian Loper says that he believes that the storms aren’t over and that the community should expect strong weather Monday.
