Here at the intersection of I-75 and I-10, as of 10 am Thurs we have
had a whopping .12 inches of rain so far and virtually no wind. Things
are supposed to get wetter as time goes on. It would probably make
the frogs happy.

I think we got your rain.
Right in the middle of harvest, 1.7 inches of rain
on top of the wheat crop. Poor BIL, a farmer, was
very glum when I saw him yesterday. More rain
on the way :-(

Did you get more rain today, Galen?

k :-)

Not yet. It's almost 6 and we don't even have a tenth of an inch yet.
I hear some folks are really getting it, but it's not us.

I'll bet your mud hole is full!

You'd be wrong. Less than an inch of rain so far.

Fay has decided to visit Jackson! She is filling our ponds. Last
year, my acre pond was down by 28". Today, it is full. Soon, we will
try out the standpipe on a serious basis. It is, however, a nice
problem to have.

Galen, I am suffering the consequence of expecting your pond to
fill. Thus far, the rains are steady but the winds are no biggie.

Recent straight line winds broke a 28" pine out by our acre pond. I
have to get out the chain saw and go to work! Fay appears much tamer.

The last three days have measured 2.7" of rain for my back yard and
the weeds are growing well..
My dog didn't like the thunder, but the rain was great and no wind
damage in my area. The sun is really warm today and the air is fresh,
while at the gage I saw a black swallowtail fly up and around another
flower bed. It looks like a good day and I hope you have one too.

I got an email from a friend in Fla telling me some of her gaiters are
becoming a problem in some flooded areas.
