Tuesday night's precipitation event was a gamechanger for our drought, or so you may think. West Texans have been elated over the first big rainstorm of the year, with Lubbock officially receiving 0.71 inches and locations like Denver City accumulating almost two inches in just a matter of hours!

My momma would be so proud. Who remembers growing up using Vicks Vapo-ruuuu for everything? If I woke up with a sore throat, Vicks. If I started coughing, Vicks. If my head hurt Vicks.
