And, I don't think I mentioned this...our flooding was strictly from way too much rain in a very short period of time. About 10" in 4-5 hours. No flooding from any nearby bayous or rivers. Just "clean" rainwater.

Hi Buzzy,
I'm glad you are OK and it wasn't more serious,scary stuff!
2012 Mac Pro 3.46GHz 12 core 96 gig,Mojave, DP11.01,Logic 10.51, RME UCX,Great River ME-1NV,a few microphones,UAD2, Komplete 12U,U-he,Omni & way too many VI's,Synths & FX galore!, Mimic Pro w/ SD3,Focal Twin 6 monitors, Shunyata...........
One more thing that may be of possible value to others down the road...
I, of course, disconnected all cables and moved the studio Mac to higher ground.
I have three MOTU I/Os...the 24 I/O, the original 2408 and the 2408 mkII.
I just simply reconnected them to the MOTU PCI card and then became bewildered why some were passing audio correctly and others weren't. It appears that once you set up your system, they need to be reconnected in the same way that one did when first installed.
In my case, the 24I/O needed to be seen as Audiowire 1, the 2408mkII needed Audiowire 2 and the original 2408 needed to be on Audiowire 3.
This simple paragraph took me about an hour and half to finally figure out!

Hope you get dried out and smelling' fresh, Buzzy.
We need rain here in NM and aren't getting any. So it goes.
Looks like the sun may shine on you guys this next week.

Yup. I mentioned this in another thread recently. What I do is jot down what's connected where. Fortunately my AudioWire cables differ in colour and texture, so I write "silver to port 1 (from centre of panel) , black to port 2" etc.
I had to rename all I/O once as I couldn't for the life of me get the settings back, even after copying pref backup files and so on. I'll never make that mistake again.
I see Texas is being flooded real bad. After years of no rain now you get it all at once.

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

The wild thing is that a couple days after the rain, the rivers continued to rise. After all, that water has to go somewhere, and since Texas is a big funnel to the Gulf Coast, it's all finding its way to the rivers that go there: Sabine, Trinity, San Jacinto, Brazos, Nueces, Colorado, Guadalupe, Neches, and the Rio Grande, plus a lot of bayous and creeks. It can take a few days for a river to crest and start going down. Oh, almost forgot the Red River, but it goes to Louisiana first, and becomes the Atchafalaya River, which sometimes becomes the Mississippi River; those 3 rivers are kind of incestuous, not really caring whether we think they should be separate entities with different names.
It's kind of cool, in a nerdy way I guess, that I know a place you could stand with a water hose... maybe a firehose, since you'd have to have a truck — it's an open field with no faucets for a long, long way — and you could point that firehose North, East, or Southwest and hit three different rivers: the Red River, the Sabine River, and the Trinity River. It's north of the town of Leonard, Texas, which is far from the madding crowd, but it's just cool to realize that there have to be points like that all over the country, where water has to decide which way to go. Miniature continental divides. In this case, all three maintain their independent paths all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
Geography is kind of a hobby of mine. I used to collect maps, encyclopedias, atlases, and other books. I still collect books and old maps, which are like time machines, but my geography lessons began taking giant leaps when I found Google Earth a decade or so ago, with Wikipedia to back it up. Wow! What an exciting time this would be to grow up with all these resources! Incredible! I've spent too many days and nights to remember, tracing rivers, inclines, trails, or just following my impulses in Google Earth, noting the elevations, rivers, canyons, gullies, and every feature imaginable. I can take an unidentified photo, and if there are enough landmarks, I can often find its exact location and orientation in minutes. Sometimes hours. Sometimes not at all, if the information is just too spare.
Uh-oh. I'm on a tangent again. Easy to happen. Hard to stop. So...
