Texas has been POUNDED by rain and floods now for a couple of weeks. It isn't just the coastal areas where Hurricane Alex, or the Tropical Depression 2 made landfall either, it's kinda EVERYWHERE! And Somehow, my husband and I have a "tradition" of heading to the coast during Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, etc. Not sure how we do it...but we've done it SEVERAL times. Last week was no exception. We headed down to the Houston Area to see the Space Center, go to the Kemah Boardwalk, and possibly head to the beach. Well, Thanks to the enormous Bands of Rain from Hurricane Alex, we spent almost the entire time down there, in Rain. Didn't dampen our fun AT.ALL however! Thankfully the temps were still pretty warm.
The Day we drove into the Houston Area we encounter some of our worst storms of the trip. The Highways were flooding, and traffic was Stopped (Houston's Traffic stinks anyway..but add major downpours too it, and it's downright unbearable!) This photo was taken driving through downtown. It was a VERY ominous scene. But we made it, safe and sound!! :)
To see other Skies, head over to Skywatch Friday (by clicking the badge below!) Thanks for stopping by!
Lots of rain up here as well this week, nice shot!
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying. Being a fellow Texan, you cannot judge the weather. It has been crazy this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. We are in a very dry heat wave up here in New England. I would love some of your rain.
ReplyDeleteIt has been raining at night and then blue skies and in the 80s here in the mid-west. Your skywatch photo is really nice though.

That looks like it was a pretty ferocious cloud building up. I think that week we saw very little in the way of rain.
