been checked yet i know that i made it over on texoma parkway and we do have some minor flooding that needs to be uh keep an eye out for if you're out there watching their driving in it i just have to stop a little bit going mobile like that except we're not going north
00:19
Well, I know this much.
00:20
I am not even close to doing the speed limit and I can't see nothing out of my windshield with them blowing as hard as they can.
00:26
So, but yeah, yeah, definitely got some flooding out there on the road.
00:29
Yeah, it looks like up towards Denison, the 75 and the spur going up to Denison there in 503, whatever it looks like, it's really up there.
00:39
I'm passing the old Midway Mall right now and there's 3 or 4 inches of standing water on top of Texanummer Parkways.
00:47
Wow.
00:48
I mean, it's moving.
00:49
You know, it lit up for five minutes.
00:51
It dissipated rather quickly, but I'm passing this old finish line call wash across the street from Flanagan's and you can see more water.
01:02
What happened? I don't know.
01:04
It sounded like he keyed up there, but I didn't catch nothing from your end, so I was waiting.
01:08
Oh, great. I was worried there for a minute.
01:10
Great. Well, yeah, I caught you when you said something about the car wash and that was it.
01:14
It sounds like you got a little interference coming from your side there.
01:19
But yeah, right there's more water in the medium than there is on the...
01:23
...that you can see more water than grass.
01:26
Wow.
01:27
It's the road that teeters from Texumbra Parkway up by Texanma Medical Center, and it's dying off now, but I'm really just drying out of it, and as soon as I get out of the truck, it's going to hit again, so I think it's blowing north anyway.
01:44
I don't know, I'm driving, so it's kind of hard to tell.
01:46
Well, actually right now it seems to be going east, but it's the whole thing, the whole system, I think it's moving south.
01:55
We're going to get it later on, due time.
01:56
I think we're just on the leap and edge with coming in, so we need the lane, so I'm not really complaining.
02:04
But hey, did you know that...
02:07
One inch of rain and one square foot is like .62 gallons.
02:15
So you can basically tell exactly how much rain you get on your property by square footage and by how many inches rain you get.
02:23
I didn't know that.
02:24
That's interesting.
02:25
Yeah, I was doing a little googling and trying to figure out while we measure rain in inches and how does that equate into gallons and I got that .62, it's like 6.63 and some change.
02:41
There's a little bit more than half a gallon per inch per square foot.
02:45
Great, bring it on. At that rate, we need about four inches. I think so. Never believe what you'd stay on the internet, but that seems pretty logical, in my opinion.
