“’Unprecedented,’ Jack Colley, chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, told the AP.”

Apparently he wasn’t around here in 1973: San Antonio got 4 more inches of rain in June of that year than this year, and an additional 13 inches in September, 52 inches for the whole year.

I remember that year; most miserable vacation from school I ever had - it was like this year has been, rain every stinking day.

A few years back I was on a pheasant hunting trip to N.W. Kansas (Logan) and stayed at a Bed and breakfast one of the nights that was owned by a lady in her mid 90's.

She told some of the most increadible stories of her life such as when her father had drilled a well by using 2 mules attached to a thing like Samson was.

Then when her father had decided to move the house into town and they did it by lifting it onto some sort of sled and towed it into town by mule train.

Then she told of what it was like living thru the "Dust Bowl" back in the '30s.........If only Gore had been there then.
