A Rainy Day

Finally, we are getting some good rain in the Dallas area. It's about time as we move into Fall. This photo is from the WFAA Channel 8 ABC Tower Cam at Victory Park in Dallas. It is currently looking to the West of the Downtown with Reunion Tower in the foreground.

Now I know some would think big deal, but when you live in the Dallas area on the very end of the Prairie, it is a big deal when you get a nice soaking rain without a thunderstorm or occasional tornado. So much of the weather can be violent here. We also get a lot of hail in this part of the country with strong winds. So, when it just rains gently, it is indeed a very nice thing. After all, it may not rain again for another month or so.

Due to all the heat we get down here, 100's and over through the summer months, this rain will help all the yards relax and move back to the sidewalks. Yes, the ground cracks down here and pulls away from sidewalks, foundations, roads, you name it.

But such is life in the great State of Texas under the big sky.
