We just can't BUY rain...
From the Monitor.com:
McALLEN — In Hidalgo County, a potential rain event turned mostly into a non-event.
Tropical Storm Don blew ashore Friday in South Texas, bringing much-needed rain — but little else — to portions of the Rio Grande Valley. By 8:30 p.m., when the dissipating storm was just beginning to move inland over northern Kenedy County [cq], the National Hurricane Center was already planning to downgrade it to a tropical depression, hours ahead of when the warnings were originally scheduled to lapse.

I read and heard reports that the reason it did this was the same reason storms dissipate as they reach land onthe Arabian peninsula - the heat. This has NEVER happened on North America before in recorded history.
I'd like to see another Ivan right about now... heading straight north to Dallas... Oh, wells...
Rock on!
