  • We've been getting rain here and there. I enjoy this so much, but it has delayed my construction of a garden patio for the past few weeks. I was planning to get on it today, and if rained, rained, rained. And more to come tomorrow. My grass is sure green though. And the temps are great. The humidity is horrible. Wish it would go down.

    Cheers :cool: Hondo

  • This week has had a big weather change for us - officially we've received over two and one half inches of rain from a low pressure system that dislodged that horrible high pressure that has been keeping us high and dry here for ages. That rain amount is more that all the rain we have received since the first of the year.
    Also temps are in the eighties instead of the hundreds, thank God!

  • The family and I had a very close call with a tornado in 1966. Pretty scary experience.

  • We have been getting a lot of thunderstorms through here lately, some with brief heavy rain, and some with only a sprinkle. Im glad to hear that San Antonio finally got rain. Corpus and Kingsville finally got a few inches on last Saturday night during the Texas A&I (I refuse to call them Texas A&M) Hoggies Football game. Kingsville had not had a drop of rain-for a full year.

    Also, the past few days we too have not been higher than the 80's though humidity as bad a few of these days cept for today-which was extrememly enjoyable to be out walking in. I HOPE its the same way tomorrow as well ;-))

  • We got one heck of a somewhat short but wild Thunderstorm breeze through here about an hour ago. Brief rain but we stil probably got about 1/2 inch. Hope the Hill Country is getting some.

  • Received some much needed rain this week (the S.A. International Airport has recorded over five inches for September so far). Temps have been cool for a change (only 65 degrees F today {Sept. 24}, a new record low high) almost 40 degrees F below what we were getting two weeks ago.

    In the Old Days down in the Phoenix Area when it was Still Mostly Farming and Ranching Country we would have these Dust Storm in The Summer and they would go all the way up to 10,000 Ft. and you could not get into or out of Phoenix by Air for weeks at at time !!
