Rain Beautiful Rain
It's been raining in south Texas and are we happy! The river is out of it's bounds, roads are closed, streams are running where there isn't a stream, and limbs are down. More to come they say. We'll take it. We awoke to a terrific storm this morning. Hail and wind and rain. We rushed to put John's car in the garage and this morning we only found two dents. Soon the power went off and was off for several hours. Not pleasant to sleep in south Texas without air conditioning. We didn't know until the news this afternoon what caused the outage. Lightening struck something around an oil well and caused an explosion which made a tremendous fire. They didn't say anyone was hurt so I hope that is the case. We haven't seen a rain like this in so long and it is much needed. I hope some of the lakes caught enough water to do some good. So many of them are so low from the drought. Anyway we're all singing in the rain down here and very thankful.

Very thankful for this beautiful rain!!!
I'm glad that you finally got rain. We had rain here in west TX, too. It poured nearly all weekend. It's the first rain I can remember in a very long time.
...and all we got here was a sprinkle!! Lucky you.
TX needs more of this and soon.
The rain sounds needed where you are. Glad you finally got some. We're expecting bucketfuls on Wednesday here.
Glad you are getting some much-needed rain. It replenishes the earth! I think my favorite things about spring is the thunderstorms and the rain. Makes me sleep like a baby :)
After seeing Lake Medina last year I can understand the 'hallelujah's' about the rain.
In our travels at west I did learn you guys were serious when saying "This area is subject to flooding" when all I could see was a dry creek bed and sand.
But later one understands what Y'ALL mean... (smile) I too hope the water level climbs.
It looks like it wants to bust loose here any time now. I can't get Gracie Mae to cooperate and come indoors, but I imagine I'll have no problem once it starts, lol.
I am glad you got so much rain - now send some to California! lol
Amen, Paula. Even over here in SE Texas, we are so happy to have the rainfall. God grant that these systems don't harm anyone.
I'm so happy you're finally getting the much needed rain! I sure hope that nobody was heard in that explosion!
Have a wonderful rest of the week, Paula! :)
