A Hell of a Lot of Rain

A couple of weeks ago the clouds opened up and threw down a ton of rain on the great state of Texas, mainly hitting the DFW area. The storm started on a Wednesday night with some heavy rain and a ton of lighting and thunder. The storm calmed down a little bit and then it started back up with a vengance.

The just came pouring down. Within a couple of hours, the news reported that nearly 10 inches of rain came down since the it started up again around 7 a.m. I work in Dallas, and so many people were late to work because of all of the back traffic and horrible rain conditions.

Many of the parking garages at my work were flooded. You can check out some of the videos here and here.

By noon, the main storm had passed the DFW area anything left was a slight drizzle of rain. Later that night, the news stations were reporting that there alot of blackouts and major rain damage not only to houses but to road construction too.

Through out the day, my friend Paul was sending me pictures of how the rain was effecting his home. Below are some of the pictures that he had sent me. Because of the rain, he was trapt in his house for a couple hours due to unsafe driving conditions.
