TX drought is much better but not gone

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 01:43:00 GMT

Thank God for some nice wet weather today. A great part of Texas is relieved from exceptional drought conditions. Still, there are areas around here in South Texas suffering exceptional and extreme drought conditions and water tables are low even where the surface looks green. I got .5 inch today and I am elated. Come on Ida, we'll take ya.

img src="" alt="" />WONDERFUL!!! We got about a half inch of rain today. I am ecstatic!! That may not seem like much to some folks, but considering our "official" year to date rainfall is at 4.99" against a normal average of 21.64" at this point annually, to get any rain at all is beyond being well and good. I will say Hallelujah and hallelujah again!! Some places right near to me have gotten some really good soaking rains of 4 and 5 inches and for them I am gla...

Texas Drought Disaster Contnues

I'm getting as antsy to see a big storm in the tropics as the weather geeks in Doc Master's blog, but for a different reason altogether. At least we've finally seen a TD forming out there. I pray Texas will get ...

Happy to get a little rain.

Well we've gotten a bit of relief by way of rain lately. I've gotten about 1.1 inches in the last week or so. we must have gotten three inches of lightning this morning alone along with the 1/2" of precipitation. Not enough to stave off the drought but at least enough to stop the die off of my landscaping. Debbie is somewhere over the Atlantic on her way home so that will help a lot too. She will be able to water tend to the plantings that are stressed before the...
