Is Houston About to Become Atlantis? A Rainy Day Dream
Houston, the city that redefined flooding, is once again on the brink of a watery adventure. The question on everyone's lips (or at least in their minds) is: When is it going to rain again? Let's dive into this puddle of anticipation.
The Rain Gods' Summer Vacation
Right now, it feels like the Rain Gods have decided to take an extended summer vacation in the Bahamas. They're sipping piña coladas and building sandcastles while we're here sweating through our t-shirts. But fear not, dear Houstonians, for every drought has its end.
Signs of an Impending Deluge
While I can't promise anything (because, let’s face it, weather forecasting is more of an art than a science), here are a few signs that might indicate a rainy rendezvous:
- Dramatic increase in humidity: If you can wring your clothes out after a 5-minute walk, it's a good sign.
- News anchors getting excited: When meteorologists start using words like "system," "convergence," and "moisture transport," it's usually a prelude to rain.
- Your grandma's knee acting up: If your grandma starts complaining about her knee, it's a surefire sign of a coming storm. Trust me on this one.
Embrace the Dry Spell
Until the heavens open up, let's make the most of this dry spell. Have a pool party, start a garden (or at least buy some succulents), or learn to enjoy the sunshine. After all, variety is the spice of life, and a little drought can make the rain even more refreshing.
How to Survive the Post-Rain Apocalypse
Okay, so maybe the apocalypse is a bit dramatic, but you know what we mean. Houston rains can be intense, so it's always good to be prepared:
- How to prevent your car from floating away: Park on high ground, invest in a snorkel for your vehicle (just kidding), or simply accept your fate and learn to fish.
- How to build a DIY ark: Gather two of every animal (or at least your pets), stock up on supplies, and find a really big boat. Or, you know, just buy some flood insurance.
- How to make the most of indoor activities: Stock up on board games, binge-watch your favorite shows, and discover your hidden talent for baking.
- How to avoid water-borne diseases: Boil your drinking water, wear rubber boots, and avoid swimming in any standing water that looks like a pea soup.
- How to find a rainbow: After the storm, look up. There’s nothing quite like a rainbow to lift your spirits.
So, there you have it, Houston. While we eagerly await the return of our rainy friend, let’s enjoy the sunshine and be prepared for when the skies finally open up. Remember, even Noah had to wait for a while before the party started!
