It's Called a FORECAST

The past 2 months here in North Texas have been easy to project a forecast: Sunny and 99! As the week went on and Hurricane Rita roared through the Gulf Coast it looked like the Galveston/Houston area was going to get racked pretty hard. The projected forecasts kept showing the Hurricane punching straight through the heart of Texas. With that forecast the mandatory evacuations of the towns in and around Galveston were inforced. Highway 45 north was basically a parking lot on both sides of the highway going north.

Some say mother nature, but I'll give credit to God for sparing the 4th most populated city in the US. There is a "death toll" only because a bus full of elderly needing their oxygen tanks caught fire and exploded killing more than 20.

As I came home about 4pm yesterday I could see the most westward wall of clouds that came with Hurricane Rita. At about 5pm it was directly over my house. Initial projections called for Level 1 hurricane hitting our area with 70mph + winds and heavy rain.

Well? Today it was slightly cooler, overcast, a little windy, BUT NO RAIN. We need it badly so I was hoping it would come this way. Instead, water soaked Louisiana and it's already crippled city of New Orleans will again take on extreme rainy conditions.

Hope you are safe and dry where you are.
