HOUSTON – Monday's rain was a welcomed and much-needed sight across southeast Texas. The summer rains are providing relief from the heat and drought relief as well.
Most of southeast Texas is in a severe to extreme drought. But much more rain is needed to get us completely out of our drought. For this time of year, unfortunately, flooding rains from a tropical system would get us out of our drought.

Thankfully, we are not that bad right now.
