The Amarillo area has seen a ton of rainfall in the last few weeks.  Heck, we have seen some great rainfall all year long.  However, this wasn't always the case. 

I remember when the drought hit the area and everything was brown.  Everything!  So as we continue to get all this great rainfall here's the Top 5 Things that the rain has made better in the Amarillo area.

1. It's no longer brown in the area, it's green.

It is so nice to drive around town and see all the green grass everywhere.  Yes, some of it is quite tall but it is green.

2.  The flowers are amazing.

When the flowers started blooming it was a blast of color all over the area.  I'll tell you this much my rose bushes have never looked better.  They are gorgeous.

3. The lakes actually have water in them

It broke my heart to see all our area lakes turn into ponds, slowly drying up.  However, with all this rain, you can actually get a boat out on them again.

4. No more eating dirt every time the wind blows

Let's just say the rain has tamed the dirt.  Which means we won't have to deal with the massive amounts of blowing dirt every time the wind picks up.

5.  Humidity

The dry air can wreak havoc on your skin, your sinuses, on you over all life and with rain come humidity.  So now that we have had this great rain, we don't have to worry about the dry air.
