    Texans are lucky.

    Adelaide has around 20 inches per year, and that’s been for way more than 10 years. You’d be hard pressed to find someone here that would claim we’re living in a desert city.

  2. Mike Davis says:

    Desert is like Las Vegas NV with about 4 inches per year average or Phoenix with 12 inches a year or about that. West Texas is arid but from what I can see that is less than a third of the state. Like any other state Texas does not have one climate region so claims about Texas climate are to general! In other words meaningless!

    That’s five inches more rain then we get in Sacramento. The only thing people are deserting here are the policies of Jerry Brown and the hopelessly corrupt Democrat controlled legislature.

  4. Crito says:

    Yes, but emotionally it feels very deserty.

    I just came from Austin…..temps at 100 for 80 days this year…landscape out of the city looks like Mad Max Beyond Thunder Dome. 50 years the place looks like Nevada.
