I nice, weak, slow-moving tropical storm would be a good thing right about now. Bring it! We need the rain!

I’ve been getting rain every few days here in my part of Texas...once I started praying for it as Jesus did in March 4:39 and Luke 8:24...in fact, rain is coming my way now.

I am willing to sacrifice Houston to a hurricane in order to get rain all the way to north central Texas...

Sheila Jackson Lee will respond when she figures out what this means.

What Doug Sahm sang:

Oh Lord, Please Let It Rain In Texas

Popped up on my MP3 player the other day while I was kicking my dirt and I had to sing along.

I lived most of my 54 years on the Alabama Gulf Coast. I appreciate timely hurricane info.

Come hurricane season in Mobile you always knew who the new local weather commentators were. The were the ones broadcasting from as far out Dauphin Island as you can get.

We just got about a 5 minute shower up in Fannin County a few miles south of the Red River which dropped the temp from 108 all the way down to 101...and now about 20 minutes later on down to a cool 95. Actually we have been more fortunate than most...we had nice spring rains...but nothing for the last 60 days or so...but we could sure use a soaker from ole “Don”..

Ahhhh..

I was living in Houston in 1983 when hurricane Alicia sent the glass from many of the 'glass skyscrapers' there to the sidewalks...very dangerous.

We’re where the arrow says “persistence”. How appropriate!

Sorry to disagree with your "30 miles from the coast damage" comment. Houston is 50+ miles inland and tree damage from hurricane Ike's winds knocked down power lines and we were 2 to 3 weeks without power. I don't know of any homes or buildings that were destroyed but 2 to 3 weeks without power is disastrous.

If God was indeed a kind and caring entity he would direct a hurricane into SJL’s district while she was not making ignorant racial rants in Washington, and was home, and take all the inhabitants along with her up to a new utopia in the sky...far, far away to the land of never ending mammary slurping for helpless ignorant people! There she and her constituents could live happily ever after. How about that for a fairy tale?

If Jim Cantore shows up at Dauphin or Orange Beach, that’s where the storm will hit!

Can you send him to Huntsville, TX?

If the storm hits there then a lot of dry areas will get some very needed rain.

Lake Conroe is now “Conroe Gulch”!

Sheila Jackson Lee will respond when she figures out what this means.

Naming it “Don” is racist.

She would complain “that hurricane names were too ‘lilly white’ and that ‘All racial groups should be represented.’ She suggested Hurricanes ‘Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn’.”

I have a family reunion planned for the week of 8-5-2011 on Dauphin Island. We have secured the Shamrock Shores for the event.

I'll be watching hurricane forecasts very closely.(BTW, we do have 'cancellation' insurance though)

Excellent segue.
