Re: More crazy weather

I'm really glad you are not getting tornadoes. They were all over the weather map east of Dallas on the news this afternoon. I heard the prez had to be evacuated from Crawford to go sit in an armored car outside a shelter. Now, we have to hear from Besty.

No tornados here, but RAIN! I mean by 4:30 this afternoon we had 3 inches 
and since I got out of the tub it's been coming down in absolute sheets -
hurricane strength rain! Without the high winds or hail! THIS is what we need. Weeks of it. I am so delighted I have bundled up and gone out on the porch to watch it. Sugar is freaked out from all the thunder and I'm sorry about that, but we NEED this. Especially w/ the no outside watering ban in effect. Only when we get enough to get the lakes back up to halfway normal 
levels can we water again!  I hope it does this all night long.  This is
VERY wonderful.  Now if it's not just a flash in the pan......

I heard Colorado
was due more snow and after last weeks I am sure all are prepared!....

That's
odd, Jim.  My Myer lemon is blooming like crazy.  Maybe it thinks my
back
porch is Florida.  BTW, I'm concerned about Pam and Betsy with all the
tornadoes in Texas today and the new blizzard in Colorado.
