A few days ago it started raining here. Though it was just a bit of a sprinkle here and there. It was better than no rain at all.
Hopefully we will get a downpour here soon. Still really dry here.

For the past 4 afternoons and nights we have gotten much needed rain but along with it high winds sometime to 60 mph and lots of lightening...we lost power three time last night and once this AM....they are forecasting more of the same for us through Sunday....I hate the winds and lightening...tree and other damage...we had some house fires here in Ga. last night.

On that rainfall prediction map it shows AR needing over 15" to recover. Don't think that would be enough. We have not had any appreciable rain since the beginning of April and even then not much. Surrounding areas have gotten the stray 1-3" rain, but at my house, nothing. My GF bought me a new JD ZTR 60in mower for my BD in May. Haven't even fired it up! I'm thinking she should have bought me another chainsaw, gonna lose quite a few trees!

There was a grass fire about 2 miles from here yesterday morning. Someone pushed over there old barn with a tractor and decided to light it on fire. The fire spread pretty quickly, and was making it's way down the side of the road burning up all the dead grass in the ditch.
They got it put out last night at around 11:30 PM.

Chad, Makes you wonder what they were thinking....when it is so dry I am even careful not to go in the fields with my Jeep...afraid the catalytic converter will start the pastures on fire ...

Not me, today makes 6 out of 7 days with rain and it is pouring right now. South Louisiana at least its not a hurricane.....
Its bad here in the wheat state I have 3.5" recorded on my rain gage at my garden for the whole year so far. I am having to water twice a day and once is during the nite with timers just to keep stuff growing and its still struggling. We haven't mowed but maybe twice all summer only 3 times last year total.
100's every day for quite awhile 110 today and yesterday by my thermometer no end in the forecast either. Probably on track to break last years streak of record highs and over 100 degree days, not a good year for farmers here that is a shame again.
