San Antonio River, Eagleland Reach
Today's photos:
"Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet."
- Bob Marley
This morning began with a summer tropical downpour over Bexar County. By the end of the day, the official rainfall total was 2.83 inches with some areas receiving considerably more rain than that. So, in one day, just over the average rainfall for the entire month of July fell. As I have mentioned in other posts, getting more than a month's worth of rain in one day is not all that unusual in South Texas.
The rain presented a challenge for getting out for a walk. The National Weather Service had issued a flash flood warning and an urban small stream flood advisory both of which lasted the entire morning. As can be seen in many of the photos, the San Antonio River was still raging mid-afternoon. And this in spite of the fact that the Eagleland Reach of the river is within the elaborate flood control system that protects central San Antonio.
A light shower was falling. My walk was relatively short, but well worth the effort. The rain felt good.
