Another Fire-OUT-Now just weather talk and such :)

I know it's not Houston, but another storm is ripping thru Denton right now. Plenty of rain I can hear.
Unfortunately, it's also effing angry, and while I was outside a lightning strike was close enough my ears popped.

Radar makes it look like a small storm on the lead edge of a front heading south.
Here's Hopin'!

I think any rain anywhere in Texas is a good thing... It looks like Houston is getting a decent rain, according to radar.

A real long rain/thunderstorm moved through the area yesterday evening.  A much needed soaking.  Just need about 20 more of them.

I updated the name of this thread b/c everytime I see there is a new post it kinda makes me jittery.

Ok... we deal with fires, drought, heat, and now here comes faire.  Don't know whether to be happy about this forecast for opening weekend or just peeved off:

We are not the only one's with troubles.  There was a fire last night at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival:  http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?topic=16359.0;topicseen
