Rain, rain....
So, you know the rain is bad when there are about a dozen of those big National Guard trucks parked around the county's emergency facility building right next door to my workplace. Yeah. Some green camo ones, some tan ones, tanks marked "potable water," all that stuff. There are National Guard people standing around in their desert camos, too.
It's not that I mind the rain or grayness of each day. I actually like it. We haven't had a 100 F (37.7 C) day yet, and for June in Texas, that's pretty remarkable. But unfortunately, our region is not equipped to handle the amount of water that is falling on us.
At least my house is on high ground, in a fairly well drained area. My back yard is a swamp with knee-high grass, though. Heh.
