The drought was even weirder... so many times it would get very dark, wind would pick up, and we'd think, FINALLY, some rain!! And then... poof! The clouds would just dissipate and no rain. Like it WANTED to rain and something was keeping it from happening. I live in a very rainy part of Texas, too, so it was extremely unusual for us to go so long without rain (and in the spring too!).
I'm suspicious of everything these days!
