Hazel Bazemore Hawk Watch, Fall 1998
Report Date: 10/18/98
Huh, should have known; be careful what you say or ask for; it's likely to
happen. That rain system had more than enough left over for us by the time
it hit us this morning. Our rain gauge at the house (south Corpus Christi,
half mile from the bay) topped seven inches in five hours.
Needless to say; no hawk watch today!
