Strange wet stuff falling from the sky!

Miss M on 6/7/2011, 11:00 am

The last couple of days, it has suddenly gotten dark in the afternoon, with these grey, threatening things in the sky. Then we start seeing flashing lights, and then this strange, wet stuff starts falling in drops from the sky! We think we've seen it before, but it's been so long, we've forgotten what it is.

The plants and grass seem to like the stuff, though. Very Happy

Consider yourself blessed! We had such a wet spring and now it so very hot and dry. Temps in the high 90s. I've been watering landscaping and garden for 10 days. We are wishing for rain!!

I get everything except the strange wet stuff. Sad

After our wet spring and wishing it would stop for a while I and my garden are desperate for some of that wet stuff...You can send some our way.

I wish I had never wished for the rain to go away so here I wish to see some today

Miss M,
I kind of remember that stuff too but sadly it is only a memory Sad

. I have hope and to prove it I am taking a "make and take" rain barrel course through the ag. center next month. I hope to put it to use. At least we are not flooding Cool

Yay! I'd love to see some of that stuff here! Although I suspect that the next time we see any it will have a name attached.

It's amazing... after not seeing rain in I don't even know how long, it has rained three times in the last four days. We had a "frog strangler" today! So, so badly needed.

My uncle had started watering the huge live oaks so they wouldn't be weak for hurricane season.

We had a wet late winter, and then nothing. So this rain is desperately needed.

That stuff is spreading I'm happy to say got some here 2 days in a row. Very Happy

Honestly the first time I was like "What is that noise?" You know your in a drought when you have forgotten what rain sounds like.

Yesterday and today we've gotten LOTS of rain! I'm pretty sure we've gotten more in these 2 days than mid Sep through mid May all combined!

elliephant, YOU GOT RAIN???? WHOOHOO!

HouseofWool on 6/24/2011, 8:05 pm

Today is the first day in a week that we saw the sun. You can have some of our rain!

Almost 3 inches this week! Our average for June is 2.49 and we've already beat that. Of course that means there was some flooding Rolling Eyes

More chances in next week's forecast.

@ Ellie We got a bit today. Southern texas is one of the few places drier than us right now so glad to here your getting some but not about the flooding.

FarmerValerie on 6/25/2011, 5:51 am

WOW, we got an inch the other day, just enough to keep the burn bans away, at last check over 220 counties out of 254 (aprox) counties in TX were under burn ban. Louisiana, is under a burn ban, the whole state, andmost of AR is too.

According to my rain gauge we got 3 inches last night. It has been crazy we have 5-7 days of scorching 90* then 70* weather and night time sever storms. More expcted tonight before it changes back to 90* and no rain.
