If you don't like the weather in Texas, lust wait five minutes and it will change so goos the saying and there was o lot of truth in it for Valleyitos this year. Everything from a drought to Hurricane Alien shed its wrath upon us this year. The summer turned out to bo one of • tcka s the hottest in decades. Lakes and ponds dried up. grass died and the sun sizzled upon our heads endlessly. Many crops in the area were destroyed because of the lack of rain. Very few raindrops fell until August 9. That's when Hurricane Ailen knocked on our doors. Billed as one of the worst hurricanes of the century wo quickly boarded up windows and sandbagged doors, stocked up canned goods and water and prepared for the worst. Many even left town for safer ground. This mass evacuotion saved thousands of lives. However. Allen proved to be not quite as bod as first thought. As it neared the Brownsville coast, it stalled and weakened as peak gusts recorded there were 78 mph. Land fall wos over the south end of South Padre Island ond 95% of the Valley escaped the most severe portion of the storm—the northeast quadrant. The hardest hit area was in and around Port Mansfield. And those of us at school will never forget the endless rains of the fall. What teacher could forget walking into any room in E. M. K or G building only to see garbage bags directing a steady stream of water into their trash cans. All in all. it was a year of contrast. But if you don’t like the rain, just wait five minutes and the sun will come out. al A common » gkt was a lanitor swooping up tna ma r in tka halls, b) Hallways war always floodad wkan tka ram fa c) Trask cans provod useful in more wavs than one
