Praying for Rain in Hondo, Texas

I know that many of you are worried about friends and family who live in the Mississippi Delta area and are currently under flooding. As a South Louisiana native, my heart goes out to those affected. While we're praying for those that will have long recoveries from the flooding, please keep West Texas in your prayers also.

We've had wildfires galore, and our little town (Hondo, Texas) has gone for more than 6 months with NO rain. This little farming community is in the middle of a drought that is already in the record books.

So don't pray for the rain to stop... just pray for the rain to move to West Texas.

Everyone has their issues. Some want the rain and others don't. Prayers on the way.

Bringing you home...

Seems the weather is a bit mixed up right now. Must be pretty dry after six months of no rain.

Larry - so true. Thanks for the prayers.

Lindsey - it's pretty ugly... I'll have to take a picture and post. National weather service has us listed as "extreme drought". Hard to believe when there's so much flooding elsewhere.

What is going on and why can't Mother Nature help us all out? I'm from a farming family and I've always been such a weather watcher. Best to you and the Mississippi peeps.

I so agree. San Antonio had .1" of rain and that was snow in Feb. Nothing since and it has been 90+ days!

The weather sure is whacky the last decade. I hope you get the rain you need soon, put an end to those wildfires.

Hi Tara,

Six months with no rain? And isn't the summer normally the dry season?

May 11, 2011 04:40 AM

Brenda - no doubt. Will do.

Laura - I agree... the weather has been so strange.

Bernadine - me too!

Sam - I hear ya... although my husband's fire station (close to Marbach and 410) had some rain this week.

Ricki - the more prayers, the better, right?

Chris Ann - thanks so much.

Doug - actually, we usually have some showers in May/June - and most of the flash flooding that we've had (which is typically how the end to our drought comes) is in July.
