We got 5 plus inches here near Albany Texas over that same time and another good soaking Saturday morning. All that dead brown looking grass we had is turning green again. It’s crazy to see the difference from jus a few weeks ago.
Oh yeah, it looked much greener up there than it does in the central part of the state. More humid too.
I saw evidence of a wildfire on a part of the drive between Cedar Park and Lubbock (can't remember where). Acreage and acreage of charred ground and tanned shrubs and medium sized oak tree leaves that got too hot. Not sure if the trees will come back(?). Was sad to see.
Although the tinder dry zero green areas around here are showing some tiny green sprouts popping up. Another inch or two would turn the brown corner to greenage.
