Flooding from Tropical Storm Hermine

In early September, Tropical Storm Hermine came ashore in S. Texas.  It seemed to be a minor storm with no one giving it much thought.  However, it turned out to be quite a rain soaker.  It rained...and rained...and rained.  We got about 8 inches of rain in the Flower Mound area.  There is a creek near our home, Timber Creek, that had extensive flooding.  It was a little too close for comfort as it came far out of its banks.  Here are some pictures.
