Texas Large

Posted Fri May 25, 2007 in Science

Texas is a state of the “large.” The penchant of Texans to have the biggest of everything is legendary, to the point where “Texas-Large” jokes are expected. Well, not to be outdone, Mother Nature seems to have a penchant for the large in Texas as well. The image from the Lower Colorado River Authority at the left is a perfect example. The gage north from Fredericksburg is a classic example. Over the last 24-hour period, that gage collected over ten inches of rain. That’s a lot of rain.
