I just got all excited when I logged on to Yahoo! and saw the little red asterisk next to Austin in the weather column – the little red asterisk that means there’s a severe weather alert. Can I pray? Can I hope? Maybe, maybe just maybe a little rain?
Nope. Turns out the National Weather Service was alerting us to the high fire risk due to the lack of rain and humidity in the air. Well, duh. We knew that already …
Besides, isn’t weather, like, atmospheric? How does the risk of a fire on the ground constitute a severe weather alert?
I’m so ready for the hot season to end …
