Monday Morning Rainy Day In North Texas

It is a dark and stormy Monday morning at my North Texas location.

So far no thunderbooming, but strong wind gusts are blowing rain sideways.

In the view above we are looking west out of one of my living room windows.

The rain has already flooded my primary access route to the carport.

I need to make my way to the carport this morning to drive to the library to replenish my book supply.

This is the first heavy rain in many months. I don't know if one rainstorm can end a drought, but it seems it should put a dent in it...
