I don't know where Bowser got his numbers, but Accuweather's numbers show quite a few days without rain as well.

Source but you'll have to dig a little like I did.

Some of the discrepency could be that Accuweather is measuring for Waco TX. Crawford looks to be about 15 miles from Waco. However the 1st and 13th was definitely rainy days for the region and the rest of the month wasn't. I'm not saying those 2 days couldn't produce conditions that led to Bush's fall, though. I've never been to Texas and haven't got a clue as to how well the soil leeches water or other conditions. Anybody else want to weigh in on that?
