Lubbock declared disaster area - 100-yr Flood event
I hope nobody is heading towards West Texas. They expect rain to continue through Sunday. I-27 is closed as are some of the spur/bypasses. They say that Ike is not letting the system move and are expecting more rain here than Houston is getting from. The mayor just held a press conference to tell people to stay in their houses unless it is a life-threatening. This is going all across the South Plains and from Dickens, TX to Seminole,TX and into Lea County, New Mexico. Just letting people know. I know that not a lot of drivers hit this area but everyone is going crazy so I don't think anyone is safe on the roads around here right now!
