Re: MORE STORMS!

Man, I wish I was! We get the right signs--clouds and thunder morning and evening, but that's it. No follow through. They must've put a teenager in charge of it.

We are expecting a downpour any minute, although it does this regularly,
thunders, gets all cloudy and then nothing. We had a good storm Saturday
about 3 am but not enough to make up for our drought by any stretch. I
cleaned my storage room this morning and put away all my new gardening
stuff. I had two close friends move away (Marines, so time for them to move
on,) and they both loaded my up with all of their gardening stuff. It was
like Christmas! So my storage room is packed with fertilizers, weed killer,
lots of goodies. I even managed to squeeze my mower into the room so it can
quit sitting out in the weather.

We had another humdinger here last night! 5" of rain in about 2 1/2
hours - 50-60 mph winds. Been cleaning up all morning. Jesse - tell Neal
- MORE rocks please. That last load did a good job but there are still a
few places I get washout. No storm drains here, so when the streets
flood, the yards flood and my driveway turns into a river. And every
vehicle that goes by sends tidal waves into your yard. I've done a
pretty good job w/ raised beds and rocks placed to divert the flow
considering my major was history and not civil engineering. Anyone heard
from Noreen or Scottie? My power went off around 8pm last night and
didn't come back until 3am or so, so couldn't get any news here. Rich
darlin' - pour yourself a glass of tea and take a little break from the
rain dancing for a week or two! We sure needed this though, just not the
wind and hail.

Jesse, so glad you are all safe. The storm occurrence is unbelievable
this
year. I just rtd from St Louis and had the best possible weather all
week. We 
are currently receiving rain but no storms.
    BTW, what is a loafing shed?
