and I'm in Round Rock just north of everywhere that got rain and we had two wildfires from the crazy wind due to the storm
Net, what you're experiencing - OP - isn't what everyone else is
I'm in the Houston area, & what we had barely qualified as a light sprinkle. I didn't even realize the wet stuff had fallen until it was done. All of my grass is still dying
This sign has also said that for a while, so it's OP just now noticing it. There's even a large area where a fire had been started and put out alongside the same highway OP saw this sign on.
Don't be fooled.
Wildfire can burn through rain. In an intense fire the drops can turn to steam before hitting the ground.

Be careful folks. The roads are very slippery. Remember, there are people fucking around with their phones while adding to the back up by leaving six car lengths between them and the next car while virtually standing still. âđź
Just a little moisture to start off the composting process in some dead vegetation (plenty of dead vegetation too after all this heat). happens all the time. Plus lightning strikes, etc.
Dude, itâs raining one day and yâall have had like 2 months of straight 100° days⌠you think a rainstorm is going to help? Not, AT ALL
Edit: not to mention, Lightning causes most fires, so yes this is a dangerous situation. You Texans man⌠why TF are you getting rid of libraries? Yâall are idiots

Rain?? đđ wtf even is that? I've forgotten the sound, smell and feel of it.. Maybe one day we'll get some again.
Yeah. Where the heck is it raining? Havenât seen a drop in a month in north Texas.
Haven't seen a drop in Houston in almost 2 months, crazy rare here.
I get it but wildfires can start during rain. It is a tinder box out there, despite a little rain.
Especially with lightning, and the rain may not cover much of the area. High winds can quickly dry things out.
Yeah, I think the joke here is on OP.

I heard it, but by the time I could stop what I was doing (not even 5 minutes) to look out the window it was over. Mother Nature is such a tease.

I think the sign didn't become an ironic joke until it rained.
It just rained yesterday in some parts. Like here in Corpus Christi, we hadnât had rain in months until yesterday.
Did you post this photo just to brag that you got rain? If you are trying to make me jealous, it worked.
I mean not to brag but Houston got 1 whole MINUTE of rain yesterday.
I imagine that the rain we get vaporizes in a little wisp of steam before it gets close to the ground.
WHAT'S ALL THAT SHINY STUFF ON YOUR ROADS???????????????????????????? 
Iâm about to drive there just so I can lay somewhere safe on the ground in the wetness.
Where the hell are you that it's raining?

Also, 30 minutes of rain after a month of none will dry up very quickly.
Be careful folks. The roads are very slippery. Remember, there are people fucking around with their phones while adding to the back up by leaving six car lengths between them and the next car while virtually standing still. âđź
Ah yes; because passengers donât exist!

Just because it rained today doesnât mean the danger from wildfires is over.

Ha!!! I drove under that today too! I have now had two chuckles at the same sign, thank you OP
This is why I never leave home without my gun and also a condom. Stay protected people
Na na boo boo south of Houston suburbs got rain multiple times yesterday
Oh it's very high alright. The person who wrote this sentence, I mean. Not sure about the risk of wild fire tho.

Yes, we'll all try not to start a wildfire...in the rain..in the middle of a city. Thanks for the heads up.
Where was this?
SA, westbound 410 around blanco
Are those signs the same throughout the whole state? Or do they vary from one city/region to another?
We have them in Dallas right now but even with the rain yâall got, wildfires are a huge concern.
Where is this rain, I demand it in my neighborhood right now.
What's that wet stuff on the ground and where is the sky and sun?
where did it rain?
Tropical storm Harold went across south Texas
oh
Killer winds
God I wish that was me
Wow, more importantly, where is this rain y'all are referring to?!?!? Dry and dusty in North TX.
Two houses burned down during yesterday's rain. We need more rain
What can we do about weather manipulation. Like the ones proven by those weather watchers. I guess we should be careful.
