Spring thunderstorms pounded North Texas on Sunday, including Possum Kingdom Lake, giving firefighters there help in containing one of the largest blazes in the state.
About an inch of rain fell on the southern half of the lake Saturday, and more than an inch had fallen on the northern half by early Sunday evening.
I pray more rain comes in without any lightening!
Living in dry fire country I know what havoc those lightening strikes can wreak!

That’s good news, Dubya, that Possum Kingdom got rain. Now
if some would just push into the West Texas desert. We are
supposed to have high winds today and tomorrow...it’s just
beautiful right now...and I know we’ll have more fires. The
one at Ft. Davis is still burning. Our firefighters are just
exhausted!
