“If we can’t get rain, we won’t allow wind either.”
— Texas Attorney General Craig Abbett announced that windstorms would no longer be allowed in the state as long as Mother Nature refuses to let it rain. Tropical Storm Don, which moved quickly through the Gulf of Mexico in late July, would have been able to squeak in, Abbett said, because it promised to bring much needed rain to a wide swath of sun-parched Texas.
