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!

We got a little rain this afternoon, too!! Also had some nice rumbly thunder!!

We had a really bad storm last night about 3:30. Lightning was everywhere. I don't know how much rain we got but it sounded like it poured.

We have a 90% chance of rain today with a 70% chance tonight. The ones tonight are suppose to be severe again. I'm ready for some sunshine!!! It's been cloudy for the last few days.

I wish that I could send this rain to Texas. We've got enough right now.

Here is our forecast for tonight......

AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH A POWERFUL UPPER DISTURBANCE TO PRODUCE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA TONIGHT. ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS TONIGHT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SEVERE. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL AND WINDS TO 60 MPH. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF TORNADO THREAT THROUGH AROUND 10 PM FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF WICHITA. OVERNIGHT STORMS WILL ALSO PRODUCE HIGH RAINFALL RATES WHICH MAY CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY OVER EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

It doesn't sound very good, does it? We have heard thunder ALL DAY LONG. No kidding. The storms have gone around us but still we could hear the thunder. We now have a storm that's building right to the west of us so I'm keeping an eye on the weather..........................again. I think that I'm going to go and move my flowers back onto the porch and put my 4-wheeler in the garage. Just in case........

I just checked on Janet's town and the warnings are worse for her than they are for me!!!! Janet, I hope everything's alright!!!!

I'm looking at the radar right now in Kansas and it looks like there are bad storms all around you. I hope you are OK!!!

How are y'all doing? Did the bad weather that was predicted show up?

We're just getting a very small shower once in a while. Nothing to really help very much, but as Sandy said, every drop counts. We need it so badly. We're hearing that next month the drought may break.
