Texas needs Biblical rain. It’s beyond desperate. :(
God - "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain...if My people will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways ....I will... heal their land."
Easy solution really...
I moved from West Texas to Central Texas 12 years ago hoping I would actually see more rain.
The first year was like 50 inches. After that, every year it got worse and worse and then it went down to nothing. Lake Travis is so low that artifacts are being found where water used to be.
It’s bad. Really bad.
Dry as a bone here between Houston and College Station. I was grading some out by the barn and it is just stirring dust. Ground is parched. We have nothing but forest sand and iron ore though and it never does hold moisture.
Either the well is going dry or sanding up because the pump seems to be cavitating.
Supposedly we had “normal” rain here this year but you can’t prove it by me. This month is like October and November 2010. We had the fires the next year.
Pastures at the farm in E. Central Oklahoma are just dust and much bare. We used to have long lingering wet periods in the fall. Not now.
All we can do is pray and suffer and commiserate I suppose. It is bad though and has gone on for almost the last 5 years it seems. Pretty much abnormal in that period so far as I can see.
After leaving Midland, Texas years ago I said I would never complain about rain and I have stuck to my pledge.
