Donny, I hope every thing you have makes it. I hope the flooding stops and the soil dries out for you.
Best of Luck to you and your agave!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I do too. The soil I not very hard now and its getting very muddy My agave is alright but If it does not stop I could lose it. Im fighting for plants. I saw 2 lighting strikes. Big storm from the south is causing major problems here. In tennesse they issued tornado warnings We have 20% of a tornado happing here. 1976 Last storm we had was so huge we lost power for 3 weeks in 1976
with winds 200 mph gusts 218 mph. And lightning strikes per second and flooding a metre and a half high.The worst storm in history. They are calling for cooler temps like -1C but its going to rise 18C after that with thunderstorms. We have a bad climate for growing hardy subtropicals 🙁
