LOWERING EXPECTATIONS ON LAKE CONROE Once Houston starts drawing water from the Montgomery County reservoir to stabilize levels in Lake Houston — as it is expected to do, for the first time in 23 years, as early as this Tuesday — the water level on Lake Conroe will likely drop between 3 and 4 inches per week. That’s on top of the typical rate of evaporation from the lake during the hot summer months — also about 3 or 4 inches per week. On Friday, the San Jacinto River Authority reported Lake Conroe was already 4 ft. below its normal levels — only a foot above its lowest level ever, during the drought of 1988.

Yikes. That’s a pretty big drop. Where the hell is our rain?
Praying didn’t seem to work.
@Mel Eh, we got some rain this weekend, he must’ve been out-of-state running for president or some nonsense.
I keep a-praying and a-pray while Perry’s a-preying and a-preying.
