Re: weather

Has anybody heard from Melody? I thought about her when the terrible tornadoes struck Iowa.

Been a wild year already and today is the first day of hurricane season. I hope that doesn't bode ill for our friends on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Auralie, you sound like you're in the same loop we were. Our drought lasted 
2 1/2 years until we got 30 inches of rain last June.  That's normally as
much as we get in a year. I hope the end of your drought is forthcoming and 
a good deal less drastic.  A year's worth of rain in 4 weeks is definitely
overkill.

Auralie, they said the furthest east tornado fizzled out at the Ohio border. 
 I think we got everyone's rain Fri night.  It poured from 7pm until
sometime early the next morning.  We needed rain but not that much.  Next
time I'll just tell the rain gods to take it your way.

Kitty, you got the weather we were predicted to have - and we

need rain so badly.  The radio forecaster had said there would be
"wild" weather.  In fact the day was overcast, very humid, and
about 80 degrees.  The sun came through for a couple of hours
in the afternoon. Then about sunset the skies grew very dark and
there was another 'Rip Van Winkle' thunder storm with much
rumbling and flashes of lightning.  Rain may have fallen for about
two minutes - barely enough to dampen the stepping stones.  Then
just before dark I looked out ahd there was a splendid rainbow - the
first I have seen in several years.  So much for the wild weather.  We
still need rain terribly.

We had very rough weather last night.  A lot of rain and 3 tornadoes in
the
area.  I got home a bit past midnight and all 3 streets that access my
house
were flooded with standing water. The winds ripped all the petals off my 
poppies and most of the florets from my Meyer Lilac - looked like a mini
snow storm had hit below it - a fragrant snowstorm though. And of course 
the darn gutters were clogged with the stupid Maple seeds - bumper crop
this
year - so the water just tumbled over the gutters.  I'll have to go up
there
and clean them out again tomorrow.
