Wet Weather Is Taking A Toll

So far, it’s been a wet start to the sum­mer in Williams County. The National Weather Ser­vice says more than five inches of rain has fallen here since just last Thurs­day. In the Bryan area, the weather ser­vice says 5.27 inches of rain fell in the three-day period from June 27–29. That rain came on top of 11.27 inches already reported in Williams County before the week­end, break­ing the pre­vi­ous record of 11 inches that was set in July 1986. Area farm­ers are now deal­ing with pond­ing in fields, which will also likely cre­ate addi­tional prob­lems down the road after the waters recede. On Sat­ur­day, more than 40 county road s were either closed or impass­able due to flooding.
