We need the rain. We are almost 4 inches behind. That's alot when you consider, we average 1 inch of rain a month. The ground is very hard, and this kind of heavy down pour, the rain rolls right off.
One good thing, at least thus far, no high winds.

So, I spoke too soon. Another storm kicked up...this time high winds, thunder, lightning and heavy heavy downpours. 1000's with out power including All of our major hospitals. Because it has been so hot, and so dry.....our soil has been hardened (like infields of ballfields) and over an inch of rain fell in an hour. We really needed that water, but it rolled off, over flowed everything, and flash flooding occurred. Storms were slow moving and just now, reports are coming in of people trapped inside their vehicals . Doppler shows two more storms heating up.
