Spring comes to west Texas

[dentheman]

We had or first tornado warning of the season last night. That is a common indicater of spring for this part of the country. No tornado formed nearby, but a few blocks west of me they had hail 4 inches in diameter, and flooding conditions. Many homes were severely damaged and cars totaled. I just got a lot of rain, lightning, and some wind.

This is normal spring weather for west TX. Last year we only had a couple small storms that didn't come close to breaking our drought. This year they are forecasting increased wet weather which doesn't bother me a bit. I am tired of just being able to water on Saturdays, per our water restrictions. Watering once a week will not keep all of the lawn alive once the 100 degree temperatures hit.
