Did the realtor tell you it floods?

We met the neighbors. Nice couple. They were good enough to share photos of our pasture during the aftermath of tropical storm Allison in 2001. The land is positioned along a dry creek. We have not had that much rain since, but we have had some ponding water in the lower pasture after intense storms. It goes with the territory.

At first we were alarmed about the volume of water sheeting across the land during heavy rains, but later observed everyone experiences the same thing. The great thing about living near a dry creek is that the area will not be developed and there are not many mosquitoes. Neighboring pastures should remain wild and wooded for quite some time.
