An overnight MCS (mesoscale convective system) flooded parts of Texas in the area around Tulia with rainfall amounts of 3 - 5" |
The Tulia Historical / Histerical Society doesn't miss a trick!! |
Things aren't so good SW of Clovis..we saw many abandoned buildings... |
A mega freight train approaches Clovis which has a busy rail yard |
Storms that brood over southern New Mexico in the afternoon, leaving behind very large dying anvils and virga |
We take a shortcut connecting Hwy 70 to Hwy 380 - it takes us through a landscape not dissimilar to the Nullabor Plain, South Australia. Cows wander freely along the roadway |
