I'm surprised and disapointed that only one local TV station covered the flooding in El Paso.

I had a feeling that El Paso, Texas and possibly part of New Mexico would be flooded this week. When I watched the weather it appeared that Hurricane Dolly was going in that direction. None of the local meteorologists said anything about El Paso being in danger.

It turned out that the street flooding was pretty bad and some houses were flooded in El Paso.

The trans-mountain highway (that goes through the Franklin Mountains) was closed due to rock slides caused by flooding. I loved driving through that highway. The view is gorgeous.

There was a traffic fatality in Las Cruces, New Mexico when an SUV hit a puddle and overturned. A passenger died and the driver and two children were hopitalized.

Ask any person from El Paso and we will tell you that the rest of the state of Texas does not treat us like we are part of Texas.

I considered the above story important enough for some air time.

The report did get some coverage on FOX 4 and myFOXdfw.com, but in the news sections instead of weather sections.

I guess I blinked and missed it!
The street-flooding was pretty swift, like it usually is when El Paso floods. I actually recorded several newscasts on my DVR and looked to see if it was reported.
My brother e-mailed me the above information in a news story.

I have been watching drug addicts and alcoholics age at an alarming rate. It is really sad to see nice looking young people age 20 years in five years. Drugs and alcohol can do that! I don't think that there are any illicit drugs out there that need to be legalized. Drugs, excess alcohol, and smoking damage the body and ruin relationships and lives. I get to see the end results of such irresponsible behavior. I wish the addicts could all wake up and smell the coffee!
