Rain Storm

Texas is in a pretty bad drought right now, and has been for the last 4-5 years. We need to get a sustained rain of about 20 inches over a month or so.

Last night it poured and pounded and thundered and lightninged. I love storms, so I really loved last night. It lasted 45-60 min, and then was over. I went out and checked the rain gage - 1 inch. Not bad, but not enough.

A little rain today, gray skies, but just won't produce.

I remember the first hurricane in Philly, not the second one that did so much damage in Jersey and New York City, we got 20 inches in a week, maybe 2. That was the one that knocked out our sump pump and we got 6 inches of water in the basement. Fun times.
