Hi Bambi,
We seem to have periodic drought cycles here in Texas. We just received a
country newspaper that says this is the worst drought in Texas, worse than the
drought in the 1950's.
Glad to see that you haven't received any sever damage from Bonnie.
One of the major lakes on the Rio Grande was 60 ft low before Charley. It is
expected to be full for the first time in several years. The cost for the
water/rain that was needed is going to be extremely high both in property damage
and loss of life.
If you are solicited to help the victims of the flood please do so if it is
a legitimate organization. That area of Texas is one in which poverty is more
the norm than otherwise.
