Hasn't rained here in over 36 hours. Drought really starting to strengthen.

How is it in Oatville, DOFO?

My yard looks like Augusta National, and I haven't even turned on my sprinkler system yet this year. I am a happy man in this current "drought."

We here in Houston would be very happy to send you MORE rain. It rained 10" in Navasota (just outside of Houston) yesterday.

Last week it rained 11" in Clear Lake. A couple of days before that it rained 8" in Conroe, all around Houston

My yard looks like the wheat I'm growing is knee high. Plan was to mow today when I get home. Guess that's not happening, again. Ugh

My son's summer baseball team practices twice a week. We started in late April. I've now cancelled three - or is it four - of those practices due to rain.

ive lived in Houston for 18 years and I don think I've ever seen a larger flash flood watch area than the one for this weekend. From Brownsville, Texas up to Wichita. That's a huge area where they're calling for potentially heavy rain. They're saying that we might have isolated areas get eight inches of rain over the next three days.

Thanks SBShock that's a nice blog with a lot of good info. It would be nice if we had the 'thanks for this post ' feature on the mobile platform so I wouldn't have to make a post to thank you for it.

Historic flooding ongoing through the southern plains.

This rain has made one heck of a dent in the drought our state has been experiencing. Here's a recent comparison from NWS-ICT



Of course we still need the water table recharged so more rain is needed, preferably in a more restrained manner but I'll take what I can get. My family farm ground in Sumner, Harper & Barber counties are still moderate to severe inspite of this rain.

I love Conroe. Ever play golf at Walden Golf Course there?

No, I'm not much of a golfer (actually I'm pretty bad), but the Walden area is really nice.

The areas around us50 west of hutch have had standing water for a month now. Hopefully that is helping the groundwater table. Also, farmers shouldn't have to irrigate much for a while.
