For those that haven't heard, several landmarks in Mission that Winter Texans recognize are flooded at this time.
Both Pepe's on the River, and the Riverside Club are flooded. Yesterday the owners of Riverside were using an 18 wheeler to load their furnishings to take to higher ground.
Chimney Park RV Park, which is near Riverside is also flooding. Several park models and other permanent structures have flooded already and they're predicting more water in the next couple of days.

Parts of the Llano Grande golf course is under water. We have also been told that some areas of the actual park may have some flood water,,but we are waiting for more specific information regarding water in the actual park.

When we were looking for a new park to settle in we looked at both Llano Grande & Chimney Park. Never even thought the water could get that high.
