3. I understand that it's headed our way, unfortunately

We need the rain, but there are too many people who still don't have roofs down here- myself included.

I've heard reports that this drought compares to the Dust Bowl in some areas. I hope that y'all have a wet Spring!

4. I'm happy for you. Can you send some of it a little further south?

Last year we only had 31.73 inches of rain for Angelina County. The average normal rainfall is 46.62 inches. Rita brought our wettest day of the year with 5.30 inches of rain...along with 100 mph winds. I think it has only rained once since then and we were already in drought conditions.

5. Be glad to invite you to the Northwest

where we have had 22 days in a row with rain! Even the natives are getting a little restive.
