🌧️ RAIN REPORT! 🌧️

Well folks, the rain finally decided to make an appearance! Now we need your help settling an important question:

How much rain did YOU get at your location? 🌧️📏

Drop your rainfall total in the comments, along with your general area. We’d love to see how much the different parts of the county received.

And if your rain gauge is still sitting there with nothing but dust in it… we’re sorry. Maybe next time. 😂

Stay safe, watch those wet roads, and remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown! 🚗🌊

How much did you get? Let us know below! -LS

🌧️ RAIN IS COMING — AND WE’RE READY FOR IT! 🌧️

Looks like Mother Nature has plans for us tonight. As the rain moves in, remember one of the simplest rules of storm safety:

🚧 TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN! 🚧

If you come across water covering the roadway, don’t try to drive through it. Turn around and find another route. It only takes a few inches of moving water to cause serious problems—and your truck is not a submarine. 🚙🌊

Slow down, give yourself extra time, and keep an eye out for changing road conditions.

Stay safe, stay dry, and let’s keep everyone where they belong—on the road, not in the ditch! 😁. -LS

🌧️ CORYELL COUNTY RAIN CHECK! 🌧️

Alright, Coryell County… we know somebody got some rain! 😂

How much did you get at your house? Drop your rainfall total in the comments and let’s see how much of the county actually got a drink!

🌧️ 0.00”
🌧️ 0.25”
🌧️ 1.00”
🌧️ “I don’t know, but my driveway is wet!” 😂

Every little bit helps, but REMINDER: The Burn Ban is still in effect. 🚫🔥

Please continue to avoid outdoor burning, brush piles, trash fires, and anything else that could turn a little smoke into a big problem. Just because we got some rain doesn’t mean conditions are out of the woods yet.

So… who got rain, and how much? Let’s hear it! -LS
