Weathering a soggy South Padre trip and Texas floods
Lynn Brisendine relays a vacation mishap on a stormy stretch from South Padre Island through Texas. Mechanical U joint failure halted the trip amid heavy traffic and a delayed repair, but waiting time coincided with a massive wind and hail storm pounding roads and swollen creeks from Dawson County to the valley.
