More flooding is ongoing in SC Texas this morning.That's how it is though when you've been in a constant drought for multiple years it was inevitable that it would end in floods.The atmosphere likes to balance things out sooner or later.2015 was also a year where the atmosphere balanced it self out from the multi year record breaking drought across the state in the early 2010's.The multi year drought is finally ending in SC Texas, just wish the flooding tragedy wasn't part of it.

Yup! Mentioned this on several occasions throughout this drought. Having lived here all my life, unfortunately our droughts tend to end this way and it either comes in the summer months due to tropical influence or in fall when we get early cool fronts mixing with late season tropical moisture from the pacific creating another window of higher than normal precip.
Regardless it's a scenario of too much of a good thing at a rate that areas prone to flash flooding simply cannot handle despite the drought. Feast or famine type climate.
Looks like a break from this wet pattern may be coming soon though.
