This, compared with this from last December, shows how our south central part of Texas (and the rest of the state) has come out of a big drought in the past six months. In the last two hours, we added another inch or so of rain as some big storms swept through from the northwest. Lowered the temperature about 20 degrees, into the upper 60s. Some urban and small stream flooding, and enough lightning to leave about 7,000 people without power. We weren’t affected. Mr. B. got a little excited by a few close lightning strikes, however. Lot of hail reported. Probably see the damage from that tomorrow.

I know (or at least assume) that mountains account for it, but it still seems odd that there can be drought conditions in Hawaii.

I’ll go with odd. I’m surprised any island would have a drought.
