Sounds like you need to fly me to Texas. I flew from Seattle to visit family over the last 2 weeks in Florida and it rained almost every day I was there. It had been dry for over a month. Just got back home to Seattle and it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

I like Shock Top Beer and Jack and Coke if your stocking up your fridge

I guess the drought moved from Georgia to Texas over the past couple of years. 2-3 years ago all the lakes in Georgia were over 15 ft low. Now their so full that all the dams are letting out more water than ever to keep the it from flooding.

Well I know in Clarks Hill lake their letting lots of it out of the dam into the savannah river and its keeping it between around 99-100% full. But, last time I went towards atlanta and passed lake oconee the water appeared to be several feet high. I guess with all the rain we have been getting lately are really helping the lakes out. Too bad the heats not letting up.

And in one of these dried up lakes, Lake Nacogdoches, they found parts from the shuttle Columbia.
