Whenever someone mentions that the rain is heavy here, I always tell them, you haven’t eperienced rain, like it does in Texas. One summer, I visited my brother while he was stationed in Texas. It couldn’t have been better timed as he was returning from the middle east right around Independence Day. Anyway, One day that summer we went outside and it was like God decided to dump a bucket on us. I had never experienced rain that heavy that fast in my life. We were soaked within seconds.
