Good for you TexasStooge! So far, nada for Rockwall. But I think we got rain yesterday, so we can't be greedy. I guess. :D

Good for you guys! Here in Allen (Collin County) we have not had any rain today. We had about 3 minutes of rain yesterday. I know it is pretty bad if you start timing the rain to minutes :wink:

If only we could get some real rain here. I am starting to think we live under a bubble here in Allen.

I've noticed in heavy rain events (especially the deluges during the summer of 2004) that the Richardson-Allen area always seems to get the least rain.

Yay for you!! We could use some heavy rain here too.

The rain has been falling in a bubble around NW Mississippi the past few weeks.

Thanks! Any rain that you could send our way would be appreciated. This area has taken off in the last 6 years or so. It is really incredible. Now if only we could 'pop' our dang 'bubble'!
