If you said, "Every radio DJ in the 60s," you get 3 bonus points.
Not talking about that. Since we got back from checking on the motorhome, the water came back on at not much more than a trickle. It allowed us to flush toilets, get dishes done, and get a couple wastebaskets of water (to use for flushing)... before it went off again. Seems there is a major break is a water line in Laguna Vista, and the Laguna Madre Water District has shut off water again. When the water does come back on, we will be under a "boil alert" - we'll have to boil water before using it for anything edible.
The promised 55º high for the day seems to have made it up to almost 40º by 4:00 pm with 90% humidity. If you have to go outside for anything, it is quite unpleasant.
I mentioned in the previous post about the dead fish floating belly up in our canal... those numbers are growing. The number of sea turtles that have been picked out of the water or washed up on the shores is staggering: over 2,500 so far. That is more than Sea Turtle Inc can handle in their facility - the mayor of South Padre Island is allowing them to use the Convention Center for rescued turtles...
To add to situation, the power is still off on South Padre Island, so Sea Turtle Inc is having issues with keeping their tanks heated adequately.

Just saw this on this evening's local weather: the surf water temperature is 38º. I have never seen it this low. SMH
