Every little bit has helped, though we will still need more. I don't know what the actual tally is for areas northwest of D/FW, but these last two rain events were welcome sights.

Drought huh? What a crock. We are underwater. I can see the spillway on my lake from here. All 13 spillways on the dam are wide open just trying to keep the lake from floating docks away. The river is as high as I seen it since Hurricane Rita. Even before this monsoon came the ground was so saturated you sunk in mud if you walked on it.

If they can not conserve all this water then what the hell are they doing with it? It might stop raining by Monday and if it dont rain for 5 days they will be crying drought again.

Why do they call it a drought anyway? Because we are 3" below normal average? Huh! The magic word being average.

Just something for the stupid weather man to talk and laugh about.

Yeah down here in 3rd Ward Houston, it's floods all over the place. Our whole parking lot is full of water and the bayou is rising.

Did ya see? Our monsoon this weekend made national news. The extreme flooding in Katy made The Weather Channel news and the overall storm made special mention on CNN.

But our local stupid weather reporter says we are in a drought.
Yea and I hit the pick 6 seven consectutive nights in a row.

Just because your particular area is flooded doesn't mean the rest of the state isn't needing rain.

I think yesterdays storm helped all the "drought areas." Upwards of 6 inches along that line. It should help.

Our street was completely flood in Memorial (Houston) and the Computer Cam up in Cherokee County shows me it's possible my corn might have washed out.

It looks like San Antonio got a whole bunch of rain, and it was near the heart of the drought area. Things must be better now.
