We ended up getting 1.41" of rain in 2 days.. which is HUGE considering we've gotten a total of 2.32" of precipitation this YEAR.
Gloria - I was talking to DH a few days ago about how all the floodwaters are going to be wasted. How is it that we can spend gazillions of dollars on wars all around the world, and we can't figure out how to divert floodwaters so that people's homes/farms aren't flooded? The frickin' ROMANS figured out how to transport water 2000+ years ago. Why on earth can't we built a network of underground piping/dikes/aquaducts to move that water down to the southwest, where it's truly needed? I bet dollars to donuts that parched & burnt Texas & NM would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have some of this water.. and it's just going to flow down into the gulf of mexico, unused and wasted.
