All of us have grown weary of the never-ending deluge that this spring and early summer have become. But, no one is more beat down about it than our dedicated weather staff -- Dan, Evan, Ron and Maria. The constant stream of flash flood warnings and watches, the storms that require extra vigilance and keep them here all hours of the night -- they don't show it on the air but, I know, it's been a tough few weeks.
And, matters have been compounded by vacations. Ron Jackson, who is constantly in a backlog situation with his vacation (take it now or lose it) and Evan have scheduled time off in June when, normally, it is sunny and dry and there's not much to forecast. Ron will be back next weekend, but, until then, the rest of the staff is taking up the slack.
We often joke about telling the weatherman (or in Maria's case weatherwoman) to make it stop raining.
Believe me, right now -- if they could -- they would!

RICH ON THE ROAD I am blessed with a truly remarkable job that for decades now has permitted me to see corners of the world, far and near. When I'm not on the road for Fox 4 News in Dallas/Fort Worth, I'm often traveling with my wife Catherine -- occasionally on mission trips in Africa or Latin America with our home church (Prince of Peace Lutheran in Carrollton). My contribution to this page began largely as a Travel-blog -- sharing current and many of my past experiences in traveling America and the globe. I'm tryng, as we go along, to wade into a wider range of topics without getting in too much trouble. Richard Ray
