You're truly blessed with all of that water. We're hoping that we get so lucky when I come down to buy our land next week. All I want is a couple of nice, deep arroyos on the property. Here's hoping!
NO ARROYOS (runing or not) anywhere in the greater big bend areas chris miller rain just an exeptional event during very few times during the year. i understand john has posted several times the periods of no rain .it is a desert.
Not true arroyos I guess, but wet weather creeks - you know. I just need a piece of property where water will run when water runs. I'll take care of the rest. ;)
Carl looks bad wet!

Wonderful rain! Here in East Texas we have an expression: "mad'ern a wet hen" Looks like that applys to roosters as well.
ReplyDeletePerfect photographic explanation of why there is flash flooding! Love it so much I'm showing it to my algebra students Monday!
