------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
