What a nice rain
    It was no drought breaker, but Tuesday's rain was a welcome relief.
    Officially, the National Weather Service rain gauge located at the Victoria Regional Airport only recorded 0.30 of an inch. They're going to have to clean the bird nest out of that thing. ;>)
    Weather radar estimated some areas of Victoria County might have received as much as 2 inches. Anyone have any reports to pass along?

When I got home last night, I found 0.65 of an inch in my rain gauge. Add the 0.25 that fell the day before and that's a decent rain.

I live over by the airport, and 3/10ths is probably about right. It was great to get some manna from heaven! Give this for about 4 days in a row and things will start looking up!
