RE: OT:Rainfall

    Thank you to everyone who replied on and off chat.  We are drying out...thankfully.  When we finally got out to the barn we found that there had been about 4" of water IN the back aisle way.  Since we have never had this kind of rain before it is hard to guess where it came in from.  
    All in all things are good.  After my first posting we got another inch of rain and a second hail storm.   It appears that all of the seed pods made it!!  Wonder of wonders.  They tell us we had wind gusts of 97 yes, 97 miles per hour.  Now does that tell you how tough an iris is?  The beds are drying out quickly, we had a high today of 92 so that should speed it on its way.
 
    Thanks for all your concern and best wishes!!!

Oh my goodness, Dana! I am so sorry to hear (and see) about your flooding.  I heard on the Weather Channel this afternoon that there was a tornado warning (or watch) in your area.  Do hope not too much damage was done.

      Well, we are no longer an inch behind in our rainfall.  We are now 2.75
inches ahead.  We got 3.75" of rain in less than two hours.  This just about
doubled our rainfall for the year!!  We got home to find everything
underwater.  Landscape timbers that had been laid under the carport were
floating in the driveway!  I have attached a couple of pictures to show you
what it was like.  We haven't been able to go out yet and find out if the
marble to golfball size hail that accompanied the storm knocked off our seed
pods.  Cross your fingers for us!!
