The Woodlands Flood - Road Closures
The Woodlands, Tx.
Road Closures Mark All time Record Flood.
#TheWoodlandsTx experienced a record flood on #SpringCreek this week. #KHOU This video shares the images and sounds of water gone a muck in the forest of Southeast Texas. In two days, 14 inches of rain fell on this 100,000 resident community. That combined with upstream rainfalls of equivalent amounts and the release of water from Lake Conroe has nearly overwhelmed the community. Folks living here all their life have stated that they have never seen such water in their entire lives. I have lived here for 20 years and not seen anything like it as well. Some people had to abandon their homes; others balked at it and stayed. When water starts to recede after a rainfall, the danger is not necessarily over. We are expecting an additional three feet of flood water before the creek crests tonight. #TexasFloods #MontgomeryCounty #

Rescue of a Monarch Butterfly
Southeast Texas
Winter Monarch Butterflies.
During migration, the Monarch Butterfly sometimes lays eggs on its way to Mexico. This year two eggs hatched into caterpillars in the winter as a result of late season eggs. This video shows the container that was used to house the cats after being brought indoors. The cats continued to grow after eating a bunch of leaves from the Butterfly Weed from the garden. In the jar inside the house, both transformed from cats to Chrysalis and then to butterflies. On the day of the morph into a butterfly, this shows the struggle of the second Monarch Butterfly as it readies itself to face the end of the winter outdoors. The video consists of both still shots and video clips. In the video clips, you can hear my pet duck explaining to you what he was watching, as the event unfolded. The butterfly got stuck in the sticky material that attached the Chrysalis to the glass. I freed it from the material and helped it out of the jar. Then he took a very short flight to the flowers and grabbed hold of a leaf so he could sun himself and get the energy he needed from the sun. A few hours later, he disappeared, presumably flying off to eat nectar in the wild. Good luck our friend. You are a native Texan!
