This is an old dream but in light of recent focus on risinf water I feel it is pertinent. It was intense enough that I took early retirement and bought land at 500' elevation near Mexia, Teague Palestine area.I was wading in water aout waist deep leading a group of people to higher ground that I knew of that had been prepared ahead of time as Sanctuary. The area where we were, for some reason, seemed to be in the Navasota area. (I live in Galveston County.) We were headed North on foot and there were others, not associated with us, that were also headed North.
The water was a slow flood. Not much current, rising slowly and seemed to be salt water. I don't know the source of cause.
We encountered military personnel who were attempting to redirect us to the West to trasnportation to an emergency facility where we would be taken care of. The personnel and I had a discussion to the effect of, "Look you guys have your hands full already and you don't need further burdens. We have a place just North of here that is high elevation and is stocked with food and fresh water. We can take care of ourselves and a few more that may show up." After further conversation we were allowed to continue North to our destination.
This was one of the dream types that often come true and was so graphic that a few years later I took early retirement and bought land at 500' elevation and have been equiping it with supplies and infrastructure for long term habitation.
I'm still working on that project today and have not had second thoughts yet....
