http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rubi12rey/8593 I was at home this past weekend and astonished to see that many areas are still under water. The current rainfall in the valley has just added to the damage done by hurricane Dolly. It seems to me the valley just can’t catch a break. My mother and many other residents have to cut their yards every time the rain lets up (like once a week). And bug spray seems to be the new perfume. All the mosquitoes and standing water has many people opting to stay indoors. I think we’re really lucky to have some run but not as much as the valley. The rain in the valley is keeping me away and in Victoria for the weekend. I was at home this past weekend and astonished to see that many areas are still under water.

They say that they have gotten more rain in the weeks following Dolly than actually from Dolly. If your family has issues with standing water and mosquitoes, they can go to the Health Department and request some poison that looks like a donut. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the name of it.   http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rubi12rey/8593/#c_65212 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/rubi12rey/8593/#c_65212 I have family that lives in the Valley (Mission) as well.
