Puddy Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 That's a pretty official looking prayer request...I'd like to add my Aunt Zimmie to the prayer list if Gov. Perry doesn't mind. She is having hip replacement surgery next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I didn't bother to pray for rain in hopes that would help bring rain. If my prayers were answered, Rick Perry would have been gone a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on those days for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal way of life.

darin3 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well, we got a little yesterday. Not much, but some. Got a slight chance of some more here today/tonight, with a possibility Friday as well. Other than that, it appears to be 100+ and dry for the next couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Roller Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 They need that chaplain from the movie "Patton" who was ordered to pray for fair weather during the Battle of the Bulge. As I recall he wrote the prayer, gave it to General Patton, who actually did the praying, and presto, fair weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Congress asked the country for prayers during Apollo 13 rescue mission. That would never happen today. They'd probably do a review to see if rescuing the 3 astronauts was too expensive and should just let them float away to save a nickel to give to some poor lazy person.

detlef Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Back in '07 it was really bad here in Durham. Apparently, we were inside of 30 days left of having any water at all left before the rains finally came. Not exactly sure what was going to happen at that point, but my guess is that it would not be good. What I found particularly alarming was that this was all caused by the fact that we were 25% behind in rainfall. That seemed like far too small a number to have such a drastic effect. And that, rather than worrying about why it wasn't raining, perhaps we should be worried about how much freaking water we were using. In addition to how many people were using it (ie: so much new housing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Even God feared Patton. If we'd crushed the Soviets in 1946, the world would be a much better place today. Gas would be 38 cents a gallon, no terrorists would exist and Reagan would've lived to smack the Socialism out of Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbmcdonald Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 In Llano, TX where I live (pop 3,300), the only source of water for the City is the Llano River. The River flow today is 4 CFS. Since January 1, total rainfall has been 6.61 inches, since June 1, 1.15 inches. We have been at level 4 water restrictions most of the summer. Lever 5 is a mandatory cap on water usage, with a fine for going over the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 We've now lost two chickens to the heat this summer. It's kinda scary, no joke. We're supposed to get some rain tonight - well, 30% chance... which means probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
