Rains Drench Texas Panhandle across vast regions
The Weather Bureau reported two days of heavy rain sweeping from the Panhandle to the Gulf, easing drought in West Texas. At least nine deaths were blamed on weather related accidents, while a Western Union lineman was killed by a live wire. The rain, heaviest since 1949 in some areas, revived hopes for pasture recovery though drought persists in parts of the state. Weather officials warned rain could linger, with potential for more heavy showers if the system deepens.
