Hope everyone stays safe but that area up north around amarillo desperately needed rain

[Mudslinger]

Buddy from Lubbock said it has rained almost everyday for 2 weeks. A lot of this video is from South of Lubbock. Post has been flooded also.

Sorry but this is not North Texas, it is the South Plains.

Cotton farmers are not liking this if they have crops in the ground. Cottonseed will be high again.

Amarillo had had great rain, corn crops should be fantastic this year. Saw this morning lake Meredith is at about 70% of max capacity and still rising. I think I was in high school or college the last time it had that much water.

Correct, almost all of that footage was from south Lynn & north Dawson counties between O’Donnell & Lamesa. Rainfall rates were 4-5” per hour. Most rural roadways are designed to act as drainage alongside the road. Ain’t many in any part of the state that can keep up with that sort of rainfall rates. Especially when there is little natural drainage and it’s already been raining for a week and every pond, Playa and low spot is plum full.

Ain’t no human tougher to please than a panhandle cotton farmer. It’s either too dry or too wet or rains at the wrong time, God must hate em. Crop insurance cutoff date is 6/5, most of the seed that was planted in anticipation of this rain is washed out or the plant is drowned. And they ain’t getting in the fields again before 6/5. Rain forecasted every day this week, again. May make for a special bird season, much of those waterlogged crops will get replanted in secondary grain crops such as sorghum.

Happens almost every time after a drought of any significance. When it rains it pours after a drought!

And all my life, even though Ft. Worth being in North Texas, although almost level with Lubbock horizontally, I thought Lubbock was in West Texas. Didn't know Lubbock was in North Texas.




I have been watching PK rise a little. Had to assume it was from the river basin above it stretching into the panhandle.

I’ve got a few friends from Lubbock and they all call it West Texas.

I always thought it was silly that DFW to “the red” was considered North Texas… given that there is another 200 miles of Texas north of that area.

I've also heard of Ft. Worth as "Where the West begins".
