We did finally get a little rain here. Enough to grean things up. I think it was around 2 or 3 inches. We needed it sooooo badly.
I visited Corpus Christi this week, and it's horrible down there. They haven't gotten even 1 inch of rain this year. The area looks "blonde". The grass along the highways is dry and golden. The tips of the leaves on all the palm trees are brown. There are no crops in the fields, only dry ground, with blowing sand. It's very sad. The crops should be all green and about a foot tall by now, but nothing came up at all. What a crisis for the farmers. In our area, we got just enough that the fields are green, but many of them have maybe a 10% to 20% stand. If you look at the rows, there are huge skips in them. Doubt that they will have much if any crop. Many of the ranchers are selling off their cattle. They can't afford to keep them. The cost of feed is just too high. Sorry for your flooding, but wish we could have a bit of your rain down here.

That's awful, Marilyn. I hope they get some rain down there soon.
Carry your umbrella Janet!

Wish you could rain to FL. Did you see where the Dallas Cowboys Stadium collapsed?

I saw where something collapsed, I thought it was where they practiced.

Yes, it was a practice bubble that collapsed. It only caused one serious injury, a broken back, which may be very serious. Ironically, the whole collapse is on film. Some of the players were practicing, so there were people with cameras there filming them. Here's a link to the video.
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=...title&resnum=1 Pretty scary! P.S. Well you have to click on the link on the page = Video: Raw Video: Inside the Tx. Dome Collapse. Sorry, I don't know how to post the video here.
