in Texas. If you don't like it, wait a while.
Well, I woke up to thunder and rain this morning in North Texas. First rain in months. It was only .15 inch in the gauge, but every little bit helps. This go round, we got the 20% chance and the percentage doubles for Friday. The lake here is at it's lowest level in decades.
Yesterday, it was 105 and broke the record for hottest Sept 13 on record in 1930. Back then it was 101. A few places North of me in Oklahoma also broke records with 107 and 108 temps. It is presently 75 and nice and cool.
There have been fires all over Texas. The one near Austin is the worst. It was in Bastrop and over 1500 homes were burned. In my county, the fire chief said since July 3 there have been over 85 grass fires. And all of them point to arson!!!! The one near me burned over 1000 acres, but no lives or homes lost. It is time for some long, slow, soaking rains to heal our land.
