Yesterday was a beautiful day: IT WAS THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE!!
Today, wind blowing out of West at 40 to 60 mph. Some areas North of here and in Amarillo area have reported winds almost 70 mph. Wind and sand blowing like crazy. Just don't understand those "row crop farmers" who seem to re-do their cotton rows every few weeks...some were just loosening up soil this week! Guess they now realize that many tons of their topsoil is headed East and SE of here...and these are "seasoned" farmers... And, only minimal chances of rain this weekend. On a sidebar: At our location we have had less than 2" of rain since Oct. 20, 2008...got 1.2" in March that promptly evaporated...
Tomorrow supposed to be West Texas "Calm": 10 to 15 mile winds. It's like when I lived in SW Kansas and was flying a plane...anything under 15 mph was called "light and variable"...lol.
Start shaking the "Rain Stick". May we need to install a pipeline from Fargo,ND...
