IMHO, La Nina never left! It's "return" was a cover-up for a mistake made by the weather forecasting people. Definition of La Nina: a meteorological phenomenon consisting of sending the rain that drought-stricken central Texas clearly needs so badly to other parts of the country that DON'T need it, causing floods. Don't get me started on that! Did you hear? Our Texas summer was the hottest ever seen in the U.S. No surprise, I guess.
