Rain gauge shows we got 4 inches of rain last night. Our lakes have been full for about a month now. Methinks the birdies will have to grow gills...
This spring has been cooler and wetter than usual in New Mexico. More rain today. The weatherman says we may not even have a fire season this year. Yippee!!
Some of the churches in the metroplex have billboards up that say, "For those who have been praying for rain, please stop"
Yes, North Texas has been hammered with tornadoes, hail, straight line winds, and torrential never ending rains. Forecast shows rain everyday for the next week or more. I've never seen anything like this since we came to Texas in 1993.
We got here in 1981, and IIRC we had some flooding, but nothing like this. Woke up this a.m. to lots of rain; some parts of DFW flooding, and the temp in the mid 50s. But, hey, unlike in 1981, I don't have to drive to w*rk today or any day.

The rain and floods we're experiencing are having a huge impact on our local lake. It has gone up 27 feet in the past two days and is still climbing almost a foot an hour!
That is mind-boggling as this isn't a small lake - it has a surface area over 5,500 acres and holds 327,000 acre feet (106,553,417,143 gallons) of water.
+1, especially given how little water that region has had over the past decade. Are the wells people use for residential water also filling?Wow....that's wonderful news REWahoo!
I wish my portfolio would go up like that! Oh, I guess this is the end of the drought conditions in central Texas.
