Rain, damn it, rain!

So the meteorologists in Austin got my hopes up early in the week with the promise of heavy rain Wednesday-Friday this week. Yesterday it sprinkled for 15 minutes, not exactly what I call heavy rain. I have no idea why the news stations have commercials for all of their up to date (read- expensive!!) Doppler radar equipment when they can't even predict a little rain. If they had said on their news cast that there was a possibility of rain then I wouldn't be so mad. They described bad thunderstorms and heavy rain for the latter part of this week. What is a girl to do? A rain dance? We need rain! Our lawn is getting crispy!
