Not me- right now I miss it so bad I ran outside and sat in our short sprinkle the other day. Afraid if I stopped watching it it would stop raining (and when I did, it did, so I must be right! )

Down Pour

Right after I posted. The rain came. And the Electric went out. Just got the Electric back 15 minutes ago. The rain came down big time. The stand the rabbit cages are on Sank into the ground 6 inches. The rain fall was 3 inches. 2 Kittens are cold and soaked I think they are going to Die. Can't find the other 2 The 2 I found are in the house under A wool blanket trying to warm them. They are looking better. The truck was up to the doors in water .I pulled it into the driveway.I thought I was going to get stuck. So how much did anyone else get from the storm???

Any way I can get it that doesn't involve cantaloupe sized hail

We're actually 6 inches ahead for the year(more if you count hail). This has been a really weird year...we normally only get 10 inches for the whole year. It's rained for weeks now. Lots of wind and lightning with 1/4 - 1/2 inch of rain with it. Expecting more tonight and for the next 5 days or so. The desert is starting to resemble a rainforest. Just wish it didn't raise the humidity so much.

One half-inch every fourth night with sunny light-breeze days between, during the months of October through May.
