its not really a fair comparison becuase the dust storm pics are from Lubbock which is kind of north west Texas and very flat and dry, just below the pan handle and dust storms like this happen every 3-4 years out there. The flooding was down in south Central Texas in the New Braunfels area which is part of the hill country and is typically more humid than West Texas.

Thats the thing about Texas, it is so big we have many many different geographic regions (not sure if that is the right word). From Desert in west Texas to Pine Forest in East Texas to swamp in south east Texas to the hill country in central, TX. The rocky mountians even extend all the way down into west Texas close to El Paso. It even gets cold and regular snow fall in the panhandle regions.
