After living through Ike and the aftermath, it seems to be a little strange how much we, on the Texas coast, are hoping for a storm.
After being in Houston for a week in July I can understand wanting a tropical storm for the rain. It’s a case of careful what you wish for. My prayers to the good folks in Texas for some kind of drought relief
The heat is brutal but nothing that we haven’t lived through before. The heart break now is our huge 100+ year old oaks and pines are dead, not dying, they are dead. The big trees in yards, for the most part, are still alive because they are being watered but now we have water rationing. It is our beautiful city parks that are suffering. Makes me cry. :(
