At least long enough to let Texas catch a break and dry out a little. I just saw this on Twitter:
@nwsfortworth: There has been enough rain across #Texas during May to cover the entire state nearly 8 inches deep. That's over 35 trillion gallons! #txwx

I live in Southern California. I desperately wish there was some way for us to take some of that rain off your hands in Texas. The images I've seen are heartbreaking. My nephew lives in Houston and my brother lives in Lubbock. Prayers for y'all.

We were saying that a week ago.
now we are just getting 20 minute rains instead of all day. Much less flooding that way.

You have my sympathy.....England had terrible flooding the winter of 2013/14 and it was terrible. Hoping it'll stop soon.

I just keep reminding myself that all this rain is helping to end drought conditions in much of the state. But I agree, we need a break. I suppose this is how everyone up North felt this past winter with all that snow. Amen sister. |

I live in Fort Worth and yes, we're ready for the rain to stop. It's heart braking to have fellow Texans loose their homes due to the the floods.
Both Wednesday night and Thursday night we got additional rain. It can be scary to drive in it because it comes down so hard that you can hardly see.
I wish there was some way to send some of this excess water to California. We have more than enough right now.

The lakes we live between are now at 100% and 97% capacity, which is good news. Sadly that doesn't make up for the damage sustained and the lives lost  . It sounds like we're in for one more round tomorrow, and then most of it should be over. Lubbock/Northwest Texas looked like it got hit pretty hard yesterday. We had that huge system go over early this morning, but it was moving very quickly. I'm sure the streams and rivers are barely in their banks though. |

Did eastern Texas get rain too? DD and I drove through that area back in August and saw lots of signs in the small towns asking people to pray for rain.

My thoughts are with those who have been hit hard. We havent seen that level of water in my area but my backyard is so saturated it could start flooding if we get more this weekend, which we are supposed to.

AMEN! Even though we do not live close to the major flooded areas, TX needs a break. There is a LOT of flooding in areas close by, as well as where our previous house is. It's just crazy!
I know we may have more over night, which no one needs, but next week looks dry. Prayers and hopes for DRY days ahead!!!

I feel so bad for the people in Texas, but we sure could use some of that rain up here in the North East. We are down 5" of rain just in May.

I didn't realize how dark it's been with the overcast weather until we had actually SUNSHINE this week!
And we would gladly send the rain to other places that desperately need it- we certainly understand the need.

Hoping the rain eases soon for you all and the State can start to dry out a little. Seems to be silly weather all over the globe - India is having massive heatwaves causing so many problems.....and on a smaller scale we are having very heavy hailstone storms. At the end of May! |
