Big Rain


While the rest of North America sits in a drought, Texas sits in water.  Tropical Depression Fay, who just has self-esteem issues, rather than depression, is puking her watery innards all over Texas from Houston to Austin. 

Austin is humid enough in the summer time, but with a tropical thang, it is now the equivalent of swimming in your clothes while driving your car.  The air is positively thick with water. 

Every few hours the local TV stations broadcast a flash flood warning for the area.  The clouds roll in, dump and inch or two of water in about ten minutes and roll away.  Lightning zips and zaps everywhere, thunder booms across the city, then just as quickly, gives way to high overcast.
