Praise the lord. Got 2.8" in Zapata county overnight with another .8 predicted today. Certainly nice to wake up to other than dust in the rain gauge.

Amen. I think it's fitting that we are getting rain on the same weekend we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. I pray this rain resurrects our dry land and begins the process of getting us out of this severe drought.

Kimble County you say? .25 on Wednesday (4/1), .15 on Saturday (4/4), and .2 overnight (4/5). So, a little over half an inch. We missed most of it---typical. What we got should green things up a little bit but we need a 2-3" rain to get the river to rise. The South Llano R. is nasty? Lots of green, filamentous algae and if you go kayaking or canoeing expect to get out multiple times pulling over rocks. Check here https://hydromet.lcra.org/ for Kimble County rain. We are #54 on that map and the rainfall totals for the year are less than any other number on that map yet, the Drought Index (prepared at Univ of Nebraska) has Kimble County as only "abnormally dry". I don't get it.

Drove from Flour Bluff to home in SA this morning. Didn't get rained on to speak of.

Downloaded the Rain Drop App yesterday as recommended here, looks like we got maybe an inch at the parched ranch north of Freer. We got robbed, was hoping for more.

ETA, 1.25" in the gauge in SA.

Northern Kimble Co. got lucky on Wednesday night (really early Thursday). We got 1.1" at our ranch off of US Hwy 83 - really small storm on radar, but this time it was over us perfectly. Only got another 0.1" on Saturday morning when the front came through.

I use Raindrop but have pretty much figured out that it's a suggestion. My app says 1.6"-1.7" in Zapata county. The actual rain gauges saying 3" now.

.7 in Pleasanton.

Awesome. Friends South of Hebronville had the best quail season in many years last year. Hoping they got this with more in the future.

Haven't seen a rain like this for 5-6 years.

Started Saturday about noon and rained off and on until about 1 PM Sunday.

I live on sugar sand, so nothing ran off.

A really good soaking rain just west of the booming metropolis of Devine.

3.25" total.

We finally hit the rain lotto.

My favorite quote about Texas weather:

"Texas climate is best described as persistent drought interrupted by infrequent, severe flooding."

They probably got hammered like the 4-5" type rain. We were sitting out watching South Texas tv and a lightening show all around us but stars above around 10 I guess. On radar there was an ominous red cell east and a little south of us that was probably in the Benavidez area I guess.
