Another Peculiar Thing About Texas

It's been a very Dutch kind of day here. You know, drizzly. Occasional thunderstorm. Humid. Cloudy. You get the idea.

On the weather segment on the nightly news last night they were describing this kind of day precisely. Drizzle. Possible thunderstorms. High humidity. Mostly cloudy. They got the idea.

But they used this wording to prepare us for it:

"Get ready for a rain event tomorrow."

It's been so dry that a day like today is an event. Go figure.
