Wow! It Has Rained Today!

15 years ago

I was too impatient, and when the first rains kept missing my area, and acting in the same donut fashion we've had all year, I assumed we weren't going to get much.

We had an inch this morning...we have almost six inches of rain in total now! I am impressed, and the daylilies are showing their pleasure. We do not have flooding issues here (which is a blessing). There were some strong winds, and a very few little tornadoes, but not at our house, and I have heard of no injuries. A lot of limbs and a few trees have been affected. The power was off for about two hours, but it has been restored. I am a happy camper!

Really really happy for you. It makes such a difference when you get the water from the sky. Wish we were as lucky, but there was no rain here. Tremendous fire danger here, big fires are breaking out all around us, so sorry for all the people affected, having to be evacuated. We must be vigilant all the time, never know if we will be next. I like Cracking's chant, RAIN FOR TEXAS, RAIN FOR TEXAS. Avedon

We got rain yesterday and today's temps didn't get out of the mid 60's. It felt nice to work outside.

Thank you all for the good wishes!

Avedon, I actually prayed for you guys to get this one since I know how badly you as a state need the rain.

Our local weatherman (who is outstanding) has talked about another upcoming "disturbance" in Gulf, and said that if it develops like it appears to be, it should come on shore at Brownsville. I hope it does and marches right across the areas that need it so badly. He had talked about Lee for a couple of weeks before Lee developed, and was totally on about the bad tornados we had in April.

I hope you escape the wildfires. Please keep us up on what is happening. It is so sickening to see the destruction in your state. Bless you. Rain for Texas! Please!

Glad you got your rain, Kay! I just can't believe, 100 degrees Saturday, in the 60s yesterday & cooler today. I'm actually cold this morning :) WE've gotten over 3" of rain here & more expected the next few days, but it is a nice steady rain, no winds & storms so makes it really nice.
RAIN FOR TEXAS, RAIN FOR TEXAS! Oh, forgot! AND THROW IN A LITTLE FOR S. ARKANSAS

Still no rain here. I was hoping we'd get some from Tropical Storm Lee. We did get one day of complete cloud cover with great ocean breezes which made being outside delightful again. Our temperatures have dropped down into the 90's, but we've gone for six months with only 4 brief showers.

I've just given up on trying to save daylilies. I've been buying replacements to be planted in October, but if this ever happens again, I'll have to switch over to cactus.
