It RAINED!!!
It actually rained last night. Not sure how much we got. Hopefully I'll find out today. It got really cloudy during our Wednesday night Bible classes and when we got out, it was lightening and a few drops were falling. Our family went to Johnny Carinos for supper and on the way there, it really started to rain. Not enough to need an umbrella getting from the car, but real rain. On the way home, it started raining harder. Not sure if it rained much during the night. Our home is pretty well insulated, and we don't really hear the rain unless it's a violent storm and coming down really hard.
I just looked outside, and the sidewalk is dry, so not sure how long it rained. But at least we got something!!! I'm working with a man for Odessa, West Texas, this week and he was amazed how dry it is here. They've had more rain in the desert of West Texas than we have here.

Just found in our local paper, we got 0.28 inches of rain last night. Would you believe there were power outages? The rain somehow damaged a transformer box.

GREAT!!! I know you are thrilled.
There were spotty showers all around Austin, but I didn't get any at my house.  But I am so thankful that some here in Texas did get some much needed rain!!!

We had such a crazy rain storm a few evenings ago, it sounded like the world was coming to an end. All of the dogs were upset... I even started getting worried! I've never heard or seen anything like that. Lately we've had a couple local tornados
 about 5 minutes from us.

We learned today that the rain in this area varried from 1/4 inch to 2+ inches, and there were apparently some strong winds and perhaps even a tornado. Some old trees were knocked down, and a rather large barn had it's roof lifted and dropped as a pile of rubble several yards away. Power outages in the area yet today. All we saw was thunder and lightening with the rain where we are.
Today was bright and sunny again, but we didn't need to run the sprinklers this evening.
