We are expecting a lot of rain in Houston in the next 10 days or so, we need it.

Got a little rain here the last 2 days. I prefer the all day (or night) light misty rain over the short heavy storm bursts, especially when the ground is bone dry.

Drought turns the ground into cement. Then the heavy rain just runs everywhere.

Parts of my area got heavy rain today but larger parts got literally nothing.

Unfortunately it wasn't enough to even put a dent in the drought overall.
