From what I am seeing on the radar, and hearing on the news, you probably should be thankful to have missed that batch of ugly storms. Trees down, and other damage. My guess is that the rain amounts were probably damaging as well. That seems to be the problem with this time of year. You either get no rain, or you get way more than you want. Also the kind of nasty stuff that usually comes with these storms (wind, hail, etc.) always makes me cautious what I wish for. Be a good idea to use a modified version of that rain dance ... lol.

Geeze, Growie and Doc...

I think you would make a CUTE couple..<<grin>>...

We finally got some rain. Probably .75" or so earlier today.

I think they said all we had up until now was .50" since the FIRST week of June!

Top that!

Out of that front, we got little more than a wetting. At 6:20pm. last, we received a welcomed, 4/10" in about 10 minutes. Some places on the western side of the county got 2" on Saturday in 10 mins., had flood warnings. Farmers never shut off the irrigation equipment here. The Erie canal is dry from Niagara- Orleans county line east for 25 mile, due to the bank washout in Albion. Repairs on going round the clock. Farmers, who need the canal for irrigation have no source of water.

One thing I have noticed a lot of this year are storms where you can have a "gully washer" going on in one spot and a half-mile down the road everything can be bone dry. Some of these things are so isolated, it's no wonder that the weathermen have been so screwed up lately. Quite often, I have watched huge storms on the radar split apart and go both sides of us and not a drop of rain here.
