We Need Rain, Now!!!

[Marilyn]

We've only had 5 inches of rain all year. The situation is getting dire. Not only are the farmers and ranchers in critical condition, our water supply is getting very low. Here's an article from our local paper announcing the first stage of water conservation. http://www.victoriaadvocate.com/news...ews&local-news

There is a picture there of our river which is extremely low. Canyon Lake is on our river and is where our water is stored and it's at critical levels.

We need rain desperately!!!!! I'm soooo glad that we don't have cattle any more. I don't know what the cost of hay is right now, but it has to be extremely high.

I hope that your water situation doesn't get any worse. Water rationing isn't any fun. We had to do that after the flood and our water plant was damaged. It was really irritating to hear of people who weren't trying to conserve at all. So.....are we suppose to pray for a hurricane? How about just some good storms?

Unfortunately, a hurricane or tropical storm is probably our best bet for rain. However, it won't break the drought, so we need a parade of wet fronts for......oh say about 6 months!!! And while you are at it, please make them cold fronts to get rid of some of this blasted HEAT!!!

That picture of the river is just sad! I hope you get rain, and then some more rain.

I'm afraid it would end of making me depressed after awhile. With every thing looking so dry all the tme. I will pray you get some relief from this drought and not through horrible storms.

It is depressing when everything is yellow/brown and crispy. And we waste way too much water trying to keep our yards green. It is pretty when things are green, but silly to waste water just for beauty.
