Tag Archives: wet summer of 2007

This is why Central Texans are praying the hurricane season confines itself to the Atlantic this year:

"’Everything is saturated. The rivers are at capacity, the lakes are up to capacity — any tropical system that moves into Texas is going to create a lot of problems,’ said Joe Arelleno, director of the Austin-San Antonio forecast office of the National Weather Service."

Meanwhile, we got another series of storms today. The high pressure dome we are used to sweating under in the summer decided to move to the northwest of us this year, and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is flowing in unimpeded.
