Arlington, TX

Our weather has been a little crazy around here this year.  We’re usually hot, humid and in a drought by now, but not this year.  I think it has rained for 40 days and 40 nights (or something like that).  Actually, we have had more rain through June than we usually have all year - seriously.  According to NBC5, yesterday’s storms brought the rainfall total for 2007 to 30.16 inches, yet for the entire year of 2006, the total was only 29.75 inches and in 2005, only 18.97 inches.   And the year’s only half over folks!

All of this rain caused Johnson Creek to flood it’s banks near Six Flags yesterday.  Park visitors were forced to seek higher ground, but apparently everyone got out safely.  Six Flags was supposed to be open until 11 p.m., but had to close several hours early.  It’s still raining here so I’m not sure what the park’s status will be today.  For more information on the park closure and other weather-related news, check out this article at NBC5.   You can also watch video of the flood.

 And get to work on that ark why don’t ya!
