When It Rains

This is what happens when it rains in Lubbock, Texas.


The streets flood. The Walmart Parking lot floods. Basically, there's water everywhere, even if it only rains about a half inch.

Side note: Avoid Walmart in Lubbock if: it rains over a half inch, on Saturdays and Sundays, and any day after 5 pm. My reasons vary, but aren't appropriate for all audiences.

This weekend we got a little over three inches of much-needed rain in the Hub City and surrounding areas. I think the average yearly rainfall for Lubbock is only about 18.6 inches, and about 2.3 inches for the month of August.
The lowest recorded temperature here was -17 degrees in 1933. The coolest month is January. The highest recorded temperature was 114 degrees in 1994. We get most of our rain in June, (which is a bunch of hooie, I don't think it rained a drop in June). Weather.com is oh so informative. All I'm saying is it better not get to 114 degrees while I'm living here. I can do without the -17 degree temperature, too.
