What's THIS? Shut Down The City!

Photobucket

The ground is wet! There is water falling from the sky!

(this looks to be a hopeful start to the end of a 3-year drought in Central Texas. We'll see).

I left a couple of minutes before normal but thank God I made it to work on time. There wasn't even a slew of wrecks, they only shut down the major interstate highway in 2 locations. I half expected at least 6 crashes but the streets were only wet, not wet and slick. (That's a Southern California joke, for those who have never driven there)

It rained all night, alternating heavy/very light rain, perfect for rinsing the oil slick off the highways and giving the ground time to get saturated, instead of just flash-flooding.

Thanks, Lord, you know we have been needing some rain for a long time!
