Probably not a good day to check out Homer Wilson's dam, but I'll bet some of the pouroffs are officially waterfalls.

That must have been some rainstorm!  Looks like it all fell in less than an hour:

Boy, I would not want to be near the end of the Window trail during that storm.

As I stood about 20 feet from the Window pour off 2 weeks ago, I thought about that risk as a thundering storm moved into the Basin--and I hightailed it back up the trail.

Any reports from Chisos Basin residents (at least those who did not float away)?
