Every year, around late March, Texas starts to get its yearly rain quota. Usually, it rains for about a week and after that, not so much as a sprinkle is seen for the rest of the year. However, this year is the year of Monsoon Season. Here's how Texans reacted.

1. Rain? What's rain?

Since we're not used to seeing rain, ever, the initial downpour naturally surprised us. It's fun in this stage.

2. THE LAKES ARE FILLING UP

Now, I've lived in North Texas for 11+ years now, and for all those years, the only thing I heard about any lakes in Texas were that they were drying up. And they're finally filling up with all of this rain, it's truly a miracle.

3. Full on flooding

So, you know how I said that usually we only get so much rain per year? Well this is so much more than normal that our drainage systems cannot keep up with it. And thus, many a street has been transformed into a river suitable for kayaking and canoeing. Try getting your Prius through that.

4. Semi-Irrational fear of the Zika Virus

So much rain can leave lots of stagnant water you know, EVERYWHERE, so mosquito populations are on the rise. However, this isn't the only reason for the fear of Zika; North Texas was one of the first places in the US to have a case of Ebola, too, so it's only a matter of time really.

5. Only those who drive Behemoth lifted trucks should drive

This is the only time I will ever admit that having wheels twice the size of your engine is useful. Any other time, these trucks are the scourge of the roads and should not leave your driveway.

6. Mother Nature, it's Texas, please stop

We've had all we can take at this point. Flash Flood warnings should still mean something to us, they shouldn't be an everyday occurrence.

7. Summer in Texas is Coming

As much as we've hated this Monsoon Season, we all know what's coming next. 110 degree heat every single day, the death of all plant life, even some cacti... Brace yourselves.
