Just another day in West Texas...


National Weather Service Warning:
20 FOOT WINDS OF 20 MPH OR GREATER...MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF 10 PERCENT OR LESS...AND VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER...THESE CONDITIONS...WHEN COMBINED WITH THE VERY DRY FUELS AND VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER...WILL CREATE A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR RAPID FIRE GROWTH AND SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON.

Notice that there is no rain in sight. I do not think that it has rain here since last October or November.

When the Weather Channel shows its wind speed it is typically very conservative, but here is what they mean to say:
20+ mph wind = don't go outside!
15-20 mph wind = bearable, but still very annoying
10-15 mph wind = what most people consider to be a windy day, but to us here in West Texas it is just another day full of dust in yer teeth!

Enjoy!
