Depending on which report you were listening to, Georgetown, TX got 13-16 inches of rain in a 24 hr period this week. Here's a video of my neighborhood, Berry Creek, and the golf course that was flooded. As far as I have heard, all the homes were spared....
The flooding to the course is especially disappointing, as major renovations had just been completed over the summer. But the wonderful management and staff of BCCC will have the course looking great again in no time.
We are again thankful that no homes were damaged. There were others in Georgetown, unfortunately, who were not so fortunate. The Red Cross is sending out people to evaluate the damaged areas and provide assistance to those who lost homes and/or belongings in the flood.

Register with reverse 911
One tip I learned through reading through the latest news on the area was the ability we have to register our cell phones to receive "reverse 911" calls. Williamson County now has this capability, via your regular home phone, to notify you if there is an immediate danger in your area.
If you have a cell phone it would be a good idea to register it as well, in the event of a fire, flood, or anything else that could disrupt your home telephone service. You are allowed to register multiple addresses for a single cell phone number which could include work, day care, school, or other family addresses. For more information or to register your cell phone please visit http://wireless.capcog.org .
Have a safe and dry weekend!
