Drought conditions are continuing to worsen here in East Texas. The latest outlook from the United States Drought Monitor shows much of East Texas in a severe drought, while everyone is at least abnormally dry.
So much rain fell on the south east and central Texas gulf coast from Hurricane Harvey that the National Weather Service had to update the colors on the scale that measures rainfall.
With a week of high rain chances and heavy flooding for Harvey-impacted parts of the state, the Texas Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau are sending the reminder to retailers that they can't hike the price too much on necessary items. If you see that happening, you can report it.
My dog would high five this dog and say Amen.

Are we finally back to normal? It feels a little more like Texas now that the sun is shining again, and it looks like it will shine all week. That means five things will happen.
