I've given up on my yard. 1" of rain in Round Rock in the last few months. I'll keep the plants and garden going but there's just no way to water enough to keep the yard green without running up a huge water bill. I got a rain barrel from the city a few months ago. The only times it's had anything in it is when I watered close to the house and it collected runoff from the roof.
When people in Houston are complaining about lack of rain you know Texas is in a serious drought. If not for a couple of fluke storms here in Austin we wouldn't have had real consistent rain for about 3 and half years.
Should be coming pretty soon, the snow packs are three times larger then normal in the sierra nevadas. They're expecting a lot of flooding once the snow melts.
True. Other parts are used to several months of little/no rain...especially west texas but for Houston it's just crazy
It's been crazy dry for a hell of a long time. We drove all over West Texas a week before the fires broke out and you could see literally thousands of acres of beautiful grassland blowing in the wind from MacDonald Observatory. Brown grass, tall and lush. A few days after our return, it all caught fire. Lake Travis is really low, and it's barely June. Me, I'm going to San Francisco for a week on Tuesday. Highs in the upper 50's, lows in the lower 50's, sunshine breaking out the day we arrive. It'll be like heaven after this.
Houston weather is hell, pure hell, heat + humidity + air pollution, it's like living in Satan's colon.
He's not using gay to mean dumb or stupid, he's just stating that he would rather be in a drought that be homosexual.
Hell, I can't remember the last time I saw fog late at night, or early in the morning, and my southwest Austin neighborhood gets more than it's fair share of fog. I'm really tired of this!
Where? The highest I saw was 99 and 97 for Birmingham and Huntsville on Thursday - not sure about today. Now Baton Rouge, La. was hell on Thursday... 103.
