1. So it's true ! Rove controls the elements !

[Literate Tar Heel]

2. I was just about to post about the weather in the area

saw on the radar that there are some very heavy thunderstorms in the area (where are the tin foil hatters to explain how they're using HAARP to flood out the protesters?"

[beam me up scottie]

8. They'll show up any time now.

Wait for it.

22. While you're waiting for the tin-foil hat brigade, you can put on this

protective armor.....

[BrklynLiberal]

3. Damn! That is so unfair!

What they need down there are some RVs. Wish I owned one and lived closer.

4. we're always under flash flood warnings here

everything in Texas is bigger including the rain storms. We cant have a nice steady rain ...it always has to piss down buckets. The lightening can be a bit hairy though.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. That is so true

I'm not familiar with Crawford and don't know if there are any low water crossings leading out to the "Ranch", but thought I should post this just to be on the safe side.

We know the drill here, but there are some out of state people heading in who aren't used to our flash floods.

[movie_girl99]

17. yeah..good point

my husband is from N.E. coast of England where it rains all of the time but when he came here, our storms totally floored him.

[The Night Owl]

13. I thought the hard ground in Texas is what caused flash flooding.

Hard ground can't absorb water as quickly as soft ground.

[movie_girl99]

18. i think it's a combo of both really n/t

5. God is weeping

for all of the casualties of this immoral war. Or, God is watering his Cindy flower.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. I like your way of viewing it... Thanks.

7. Ditches can be like raging rivers in heavy rain.

Will the cops let the protestors in the street if the ditches fill up? Or will they just let them drown?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. This is why I was wondering if anyone had heard if they were OK

I'm not even sure if this rain is hitting where they are. Our storms have a way of being very selective here in Texas, you can be flooding one place and not get a drop 1/2 mile away.

[Mutley]

16. I haven't heard.

I hope they're okay. And storms can be like that here, too.

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. O/T, but I love your sig line graphic!

It'd look good on a billboard! :evilgrin:

So far as the rain goes, I like to think that God's helping them out a little from the heat.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Thank you

I'd love to see it on a billboard on the road into Crawford! :evilgrin:

12. Edit - deleted.

Read the press release wrong, perhaps.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Which press release?

I'm sleep deprived today, I probably should understand but I don't have a clue what you're talking about.


Oh, and.. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

20. There's something going at the Fed. Bldg here in Austin at noon.

I thought Cindy herself might be there, but I think I read it wrong. There's a thread over in the Texas forum.

If elected I promise to not do a damn thing.

I love Utah Phillips! Quite the sage.

19. Central Texas is the

Flash flood capitol of the United States. Hope all is well with those folks.
