Through the years I would pick up/buy pictures I liked and one day it occurred to me I had a common theme of birds in all of them. They range from quail, pheasants,ducks and blue birds etc. Wonder why I'm drawn to them?
Birds are beautiful. My computer background is 3 different colors of baby parakeets looking at the camera. They also symbolize freedom, they can fly away if there is danger nearby.
McALLEN — Mayor Richard Cortez declared a state of disaster Friday after a fierce storm that Thursday evening pummeled cars and buildings, ripped roofs, set fires and left mounds of hail still melting late into the afternoon.
“It was, according to the national weather bureau, a very, very unusual storm that had a lot of hail over a small area,” Cortez said. “The good thing is there was no loss of life, but it looks like a war zone in some places. People need help.”
The storm hovered over Hidalgo County for about four hours, dumping a record 4.37 inches of rain at the McAllen-Miller International Airport . Rescue crews scrambled as more than 100 calls came in to help people out of flooded homes and vehicles.
Hailstones as large as baseballs tore leaves from trees and killed wildlife.
“We did pick up many, many dead birds,” Cortez said.
He said officials were still going door-to-door but estimated as many as 1,000 homes were affected.
