Nice 3/4" rain in Gillespie County early morning today. Can't beat it.

You ought to try to construct a hydroelectric plant on the Trinity River the last two years.

I feel your pain...but part of my problem is trying to put two monitoring wells into a RAMSAR "Wetland of International Importance" near Caddo Lake. It is wet enough normally...but with the rain we have gotten, we have been waiting nearly 2 years to get a window when it is dry enough to get in and do what we need without unnecessarily disturbing the wetland.

ATV and track rigs are an option to put in monitoring wells. There are quite a few drilling companies in Texas that can install them.

We are already using tracked rigs to get done what we have already finished. They can't go where we need to get to right now. Only thing that would work right now is an airboat rig. Fugro used to have one, but I am not sure if they still do. They were damn proud of it last time I looked into pricing with them though...

I can understand why. I don't think anyone else has one. At least not that I have heard.

I think they may have gotten rid of it. They had a driller killed driving one back in the mid 90s.

Nearly 3 years for me between Lampasas and San Saba. It's been so long since a good growing season I don't know what grass looks like.

So is it expected to be similar to last year where it's dry as a desert until end of August then we start getting soaked again?

God I hope not. Would love for it to even out a bit and not spend deer season in waders and slugging through a swamp.

It has been nice and dry here, finally. Was able to drive my lease this weekend without needing 4wd or finding any real mud holes. Hot AF though, my Lord it was hot. I'm ready for summer to be finished and some cooler weather, geese and falling leaves to get here.

Tomorrow looks to be the worst day and then it "backs off" to 98-99 and maybe mid 90s next week

Hallelujah / Praise the Lord....1.3" of rain this evening (we're just west of Snook). Drove through heavy rain as soon as we crossed the Brazos heading west.
Great for the pasture and cotton!

Wind, clouds, lightning, thunder, but then the friggin storm splits in two and goes a few miles east and west of my place. Not one drop. WTF?

Scary squall last night. Not a whole lot of rain, probably .25"-.5" or so at most. But the leading edge was spooky, very low clouds, fast moving at lower levels and I swear I saw a funnel start to form at one point. Dissipated pretty quick, but it was unnerving. Windy. Pearland got hammered by sideways winds and rain.

That is exactly what happen at my ranch yesterday afternoon. Less than one inch total on hay fields since baling and fertilizing five weeks ago. Odd for SE Tx.

No rain here in nueces county in about 8 weeks. Ground is rock hard with huge cracks everywhere.

Smellbad 99 would love it.

Not really. I just am beyond tired of the flooding. Have enjoyed the dry weather we've had, but yesterdays light rain wasn't bad at all. Just enough to wet everything a bit, but not enough to leave standing water in every low spot in the county like we had been having for the last 4+ years.

Man I'm really hoping the 2 week forecast changes and rain starts heading Texas's way
