[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 358829, member: 3162"] Caustic, I have to say I was a bit guilty of what you are speaking. It wasn't so much we were wishing destruction on our fellow Texans, but rather wishing for a break in the weather patterns. Sort of like when we get hit with a cold front and it brings rains. We were in the worst drought this county has ever seen. You probably saw the news reports of neighborhoods going up in smoke. Anyway, they had forcasted it in their tracking systems originally to come right through the middle of us. We thought we were finally getting a break in the weather pattern. Unforturneately, we went 4 more months with little to no rain. And unfortuneate as well, we had family members, both near and distant family, and good friends in your area suffer from the storms nevertheless. We weren't truly "wishing" destruction, but if a weather pattern was going to change, we were hoping it would be ours - and it wasn't. The strange thing was there were areas 100 miles north of here who got 12 inches of rain one day and the Brazos was flooded up, with wildfires burning all around it. We had friends and family lose everything to fire. Fences, homes, barns, trees, cattle, vehicles, tractors and equipment, all went up in smoke. They had absolutely nothing left but scortched dirt. '05 was a really bad year all the way around. I was born in Port Arthur. I have much family in the golden triangle proximity. [/QUOTE]
