Farmers out here have to put up with drought and floods (because of the flat lay of the land). Fire is another problem too as we saw in 2005/2006. Heck, even varmints! I saw one place near White Deer that had hundreds of jack rabbits everywhere feeding on the new sprouts of maze popping up.

That was the only size I could get. That was cotton bolls that would have opened up in a few days. The pics came from the news story, not stuff we took. That was the only size I could get.

LOL!!! I had to get the magnifying glass out, dude. More pics too!! Is that hail you or Graham are holding in that pic? Would love to see more of the landpout I missed! It was a helluva updraft from up here in Amarillo. You could see the low level lapse rates were phenominal. As I was driving down there in a futile attempt to see something, new updrafts billowed upward exactly like an atomic explosion. It was very cool. Bigger pics!!! LOL!!!

Everything affects someone. I guess if they are going to occur anyway... might as well appreciate the power and force of nature, while maintaining a healthy regard for their ability to destroy lives and livelihoods.
