Woke this morning at 5. Took Gwen to the bathroom. Laid down and then the wind picked up. 75mph in our neighborhood. Lots of rain. No power for 6 hours but feel lucky. Thousands are still in the dark in the DFW area. #event
Big wind, no power

Climate change – myth or reality
September 16, 2011The high temperature Tuesday this week in McKinney was 107 which was a record September 13. We also reached 100 degrees 70 days so far this Summer which is another record. The old record was 69 in 1980. Luckily, we don’t live in Wichita Falls just a couple of hours Northwest of us. They have reach at least 100 degrees 100 days to-date this year.
Furthermore, Texas had the hottest June, July, August of any state ever since they started keeping records.
Oh, how could I forget, Texas had the driest Summer on record this year also.
Don’t let the smoke get in your eyes, but Texas is burning. Wild fires are everywhere fueled by the dry, hot weather.
From down here in Texas it appears climate change is a reality! The icecaps are melting, New England is flooding, and Texas is burning.

20 days in a row over 100% in Fairview Texas and Counting
July 22, 2011Friday, July 22 2011: 81% this morning in Fairview. Yesterday was the 20th day in a row over 100% here! 100% is not abnormally hot here in Texas, but the 100% temperatures day in and day out wear you down. My plants in the garden are having the same problem. I fear some of them will not survive the Summer.
I have been watching the Tour de France every morning before work this month and the weather is strikingly different over there. Yesterday snow was falling at the finish line several hours before the riders crossed the finish line.
The climate may not be warming, but, if not, why are the extremes of weather so much more pronounced than in the past? IMHO there is no way 7 Billion people cannot affect the environment!
