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.

We got another little shower Saturday night. We woke up to wet sidewalks. Not sure how much, but at least it was something!!

I hadn't really thought about it, but you are sooo right!! LOL

We got a good shower at work yesterday, not sure if we got any at home though. Lots were watering yesterday evening, so I'm guessing we didn't.

We are still way behind and have a long way to go to get out of drought conditions. Rationing is still on.

I came home to clean my carpet while my daughter and g-kids are away and we got 102 drops! Yes, everytime I see rain, I call my hubby and tell him it's raining 88 drops or 24 drops! I'm certifiable, but every drop counts!
