When it rains...it pours. When it's dry....it's REALLY dry.

Climate change is real....but it's sneaky. It's happening too slowly for most of us to notice, or care.

As Al Gore put it, nearly two decades ago....it's an "Inconvenient Truth"

Wow! This shows a few images of what Dallas has had to deal with. I am closer to Ft Worth and I didn't see anything close to this ... Not yet anyway.

That link was supposed to have video of the floidung, but I didn't see it when I checked. Let's try this one.

I remember the Texass rains. Often, when driving one was better off stopping under a bridge to gain some shelter from the waterfall. Don't miss the heat and rain one tiny bit. Wonder if the recent rains will restore the Trinity to a real river again.

We have been getting some of those storms too! I wish they were the kind that came down softly and for a few hours instead of the torrential downpours we have been getting. Of course any rain is welcomed!!

Funny how many of these extreme weather phenomena has happened as predicted over fifty years ago about the time the word environment and global warming was used by a very small group of academics and scientists!!!

This time around most of central Texas is not immune, just not as much as up north and down south!!!

Get you wet weather stuff, sandbags, floats, and boats ready from fire to water over load is here to stay!!!

I've gotten rain last evening and it's still falling this morning, although I don't seem to have the dire conditions you do. It has been a welcome relief. I believe I've lost a newly plants plum tree, the Silverberry bushes, and possibly a fig tree from the drought. I did try to keep everything watered well, but the heat has been hard on everything.

Streams can flood very quickly. Keep close watch.

It's been raining here in far West Texas, in the desert! My sticker weeds are growing beautifully, I've been pulling them in between the rain, still have a lot of work to do!

Yes that happened here in the UK too, the drought ended with a near flood. It is said that with global warming the weather may get more extreme and violent.

Ahhh, lucky you! We surely need it badly. I've been looking forward to it, but I seem to live in a bubble and got less than seven minutes of rain before it moved on ... perhaps on it's way to you.

I am glad you are ok!

Yeah, 2 months without real rain down here. We had a big storm on Thursday. I wish it had happened today, so I could sleep with its sound.
