Well if you ask me, I've got to say El Nino because when I was in college in the early 70's they said we were going into another Ice Age. Let's just say, I don't take much stock in what the scientists are saying. So why is this subject even coming up? Well, May has been a real soaker for Texas. It has rained just about every day all month long. Over the Memorial Day Holiday, we've gotten at least eight inches of rain from two separate storms; one on Saturday and one on Monday. The storm on Monday brought straight line winds in excess of 60 miles an hour. Hence our corn has taken a turn for the worse...
This is what the corn looked like this morning. It wasn't the hail or the locus, it was those winds! Not much we can do but hope that some of it will recover.
Here are some pictures from yesterday:
This is a picture of how the water was overflowing the tank during the height of the storm.
These next few pictures show how much water was running down in the culvert.
Pictures of the overflowing tank:
More rain is predicted for the next couple of weeks. With the ground saturated, I suspect there will be more flooding. Go back to the blogs in 2011 and 2012 when we were in the drought. It is safe to say, we are done with that dry period!
