Lubbock received 8 inches of rain on Thursday! Yes, 8 inches in one 24 hour period. Thats a record for Lubbock, and probably doubles our total rainfall for the year. Our rain is coming from the Pacific not Ike.
The city mayor and county sheriff both declared Lubbock (City and County) in a state of emergency. The school district’s superintendent then decided to cancel all classes for Friday.
It has been rainy here for the past couple of weeks, and just before school started Aiden commented, “I wish it would rain so hard that they would cancel school.” Friday morning when I woke him up and explained the school cancelation He exclaimed, “My dream really did come true!”
