Rain all around us today. One rainshower at Hazel in the morning;
cloudy rest of day; storms all around us and up and down the entire south
and central Texas coast and inland kept hawks under cover. More rain in
area predicted by NWS for tomorrow; Tuesday looking much better once storms
clear and hawks move again.
