Mother Nature Looks Like She'll Say "No Way" To Texan Prayers

Governor Rick Perry of Texas is running out of options:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal and robust way of life.

Well La Niña is still going very, very strong - almost never as strong as it is now (although it's finally beginning to show some weakness) - but until it weakens significantly, the drought will likely hold.

Maybe some rain in NE Texas early next week. Otherwise, zilch.
