Over to course of the last week I've talked to people that's been in the Mission area and rec'd emails from others about how things are going in Mission. Our park is doing ok and looking pretty good with plenty of green grass. Fruit trees are full of developing fruit. (that's a good thing.) The rain has brought the mosquitos though and they are pretty bad. Hopefully they will be gone before any of us head back down in the fall.
Based on the local newspaper article the businesses along the river are flooded. Pepe's and Riverside cafe were taking a hit. Riverside was trying to salvage some of its tables and chairs and other items. Below is what was written in the paper about Pepe's:
Nearby Pepe’s on the River was almost completely submerged in water.
On Saturday, the widening river banks lapped at the back deck, with families and drinkers enjoying the popular bar.
On Wednesday, only a portion of the roof and its supporting bars could be seen above the new river levels. (end of paper's comments)
Also Chimney park was flooded too. I believe I'm correct in saying that's where the border patrol was located. I've seen pic's of the flooding in this park. If anyone wants to see those pic's email me and I'll be happy to forward them on to you..I don't know how to put pic's on this.
Just thought you might want to know how things are going after a couple of tropical near misses...(if these are misses what would a direct hit be like)
