Six tenths an inch last night. Put together with the totals for the last eight or nine days, that would be six inches. And we are not the hardest hit. Today's broadcast news weather cutie (male this time) expects Houston to hit eighteen inches.
Amazing how these television millionaires can prattle on about astonishing weather events without ever dropping the word "climate" into the monologue. Their billionaire corporate overlords don't want climate talked about. It makes them uncomfortable. Ostriches.
Here, with the rains of the last week in mid September, we are headed for another fall of mud, the farm full of places the tractors can't go, and increasingly, even the cattle. Third straight year now and as I said yesterday, in hindsight it is pretty clear that the trend since I started ridge til in the early nineties through to today is toward wetter. That is why the difficulty with small grain seedings and the increasing impossibility of putting the cattle on the crop acres.
Another healthy dose of rain headed our way on Friday night.
