Lubbock is not ready for a real rain.
Last Tuesday, Lubbock picked up somewhere between 1-2 inches of rain. Many areas got even less than that, yet the city still turned into a complete mess.
I was out and about around 4:30 p.m., and the standing water was unbelievable. No, it wasn’t exactly time to go fishing at the Office Depot parking lot, but honestly, it wasn’t completely out of the question either. Looking out the window of my truck, the water appeared to be more than six inches deep in spots. Keep in mind, this wasn’t even some violent downpour. It was mostly just a steady light-to-medium rain.
We’ve Seen This Before
The scary part is that we are woefully unprepared for a truly big storm…
