There’s an old saying, “If you don’t like the weather in Texas, wait.” Last year, we suffered through the most miserable drought in recorded history. We had like 200 straight days with no rain and temperatures in the 100s, plus a plague of locusts and one day where my face literally melted off my skull. In short, it sucked.

Governor Perry had people praying for rain. Well, I guess those prayers were answered and in typical “Houston’s weather is the suckiest suck that ever sucked” fashion, locals are pissed and they’ve taken to Twitter to talk about it. Here are some we found amusing.

Truer words have never been twitten twittified twittered.

What exactly is a “desert d*ck?”

Except all last summer when it, you know, didn’t.

So, keep it brown is your thing now?

Short and sweet. I like it.

Got any other interesting/hilarious/crazy rain tweets? Let us know in the comments.
