Its been a record dry year up here in the Pacific Northwest with no rain in months. People think of the Seattle area as rainy. . .but it isn't so anymore. Our pasture looks like your picture. It would only take a spark to set it on fire.
It seems like it will never rain again.
Back when it did rain, there would be days when heavy cloud cover would move overhead goin' east. And it'd rain heavy someplace east of the Cascades. . .
Now, it seems like everything is dry.

Yes We have been dry since this time last year,no Fall rains,no Winter snow,very,very dry going into Spring.
We did have some nice gentle,general rains this Spring,but when the showers quit,the heat has set in,90's-100's since late June.
We have had no subsoil moisture for a couple of years now and all the heat and no rain has really taken its toll...Good luck,hope you get some rain soon.

Parts of the Dallas area got a pretty good downpour, but brief, yesterday evening. It got with 3 or 4 miles of us (lots of thunder) and I was hoping it would get on over to us (I saw 3 or 4 drops hit a window), but then this morning after looking at the newspaper, I'm glad it didn't; high winds, trees down, power outages, and one man killed when he took cover at a new Home Depot site under construction and some big pillars blew over on him. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Wow,Whats the chances of that happening,being killed in a Home Depot? That poor guy was definitely at the wrong place, at the wrong time /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
One day last week we also had about 5 big claps of thunder,but that was it.Just enough to get our hopes up.
It was 108 here today,with 100+ temps. forecast for 8/26...it's soo dry the weeds are not even growing. Some trees are either starting to turn early, or they are dying,I can't tell which /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

A construction site is the worst place to be in a storm like that. The building structure is not complete. It takes a lot of pieces to make a building and if one.....two, or more pieces are missing, it's not stable.

Well, Bird. How did your luck run tonight? I was just south of you at about 7 PM and it was pouring. I'm pretty sure Coppell got it's share tonight. Hope so... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think it has rained in Portland once since the end of May
All the farmers around here are really worried about some bozo starting a fire, and taking all of us with it.
I have mowed my lawn 2 times since June & my fields are 2 feet tall.

Not even one drop, Jim, but my wife did say she heard thunder once. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Well, we missed day before yesterday, but we sure got a downpour this afternoon for about an hour or so. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif And it was badly needed, too. Of course I'd have liked it even better if the power hadn't gone off twice for a few minutes each time, but I guess it was worth it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
