Nothin. Overcast and 80*. Lots of stuff to the north and south and east of us. It's got us surrounded, but not a drop falling from the sky.

Hearing thunder now. For the 4th time. No rain. It's raining all around us, but not here.

I thought that .08" that we got yesterday morning was going to be all, but then we had another shower before midnight, so altogether, we got about a quarter of an inch yesterday. I went and got my truck washed this morning to try to encourage it to rain some more today, but it's not looking too promising.

We have had only a trace of rain the past week. The dry and cracking black clay got so bad the front gate posts have leaned down, making the gate drag the ground. I let about 450 gallons of water run around the gate posts and it corrected itself. We have some cracks here big enough to put your whole arm in.

At 2:30pm we are right at 7 inches, I don’t think that is luck Bird,, I think we are just in the line of fire.. it keeps trailing right over the top of us.. I bet Houston got 9 inches or more in some places.. Tomorrow we got a 80% chance.. today we only had a 70%.:shocked:. I quit whining around noon today..

Yeah, Lou, that's a little more rain than I need. But even without rain today, our temperature range has been 65 to 77 and already starting back down; 74 right now. I can sure live with that.
