Southern Plains Flooding
It’s almost hard to believe that a year ago we were dealing with extreme drought and wildfires from MONTHS with near zero to absolute zero rainfall totals and some days with negative dewpoint figures. I am sure everyone has heard about the flooding in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. As devastating as it is…the water really WAS needed. Many lakes that were on the very of drying up or at least were on their last legs are now full and filling up again. Chasing this year I saw areas so green I almost couldn’t recognize them, perhaps greener than I have EVER seen them, especially in areas on and just off the Texas Caprock. I said at the beginning of winter that mother nature WOULD balance things out. She always does, even if we sometimes get in the way of her efforts.
