As I mentioned in my last blog entry, the drought in Texas has been so severe that much of the vegetation has dried out and now easily catches fire from a spark or a cigarette that has been tossed out the window. This picture taken from the International Space Station shows some of the fires that have been ongoing in Texas and for quite some time. The weather pattern from September 14-20 looks unsettled and there will be chances for rain and storms. Some of the rain will make it into north Texas, but only time will tell exactly how far south the moisture will go. The jet stream (winds in the upper atmosphere) get much stronger going into the autumn season. I'm so hopeful this energetic jet stream delivers stronger storm systems to our area to increase our chances for moisture.
Millie and I continue to be busy with the Kansas State Fair. If you are in Hutch on Thursday or Friday, be sure to come by the KWCH booth and say hello.
