Well those storms came ripping right through Texas today. At 5:00 o’clock during evening rush hour, the Dallas Fort Worth area had the following watches and warnings from the NOAA National Weather Service:
Flash Flood Warning – Flash Flood Watch -
Flood Warning – Hazardous Weather Outlook

Local news stations reported a large number of traffic problems all over the Dallas Ft. Worth metroplex, and flooding concerns all over north Texas. Actually it’s the gulf moisture that’s coming from the south driving the rain north, creating flood conditions all through central Texas.

Over 1000 flights were cancelled at DFW Airport, which almost never happens, but that’s the hub for American Airlines, so you can just imagine the chaos that caused for spring break travelers. You can see on the radar images below that the watches and warnings were everywhere.

NOAA has an education site with many informative tips about weather safety at www.education.noaa.gov/csafety.html

It’s as if we’re seeing history repeat itself. The heated presidential debates, the upcoming election, conflict at home and abroad, an unpopular war, and a wounded soldier’s story.
