We got nailed last night.

Sorry Fowler - Wiscon is wet wet wet too!

All you Minnesotans can keep your storms! This year is just ridiculous. It storms every other day at least and drops buckets of rain. Luckily no storm damage w/in miles of our place. But it sure sucks when we just adopted an adult dog who has anxiety and is scared of storms. Its really stressful for her!

I'd gladly send my share down south!!!

About 15 years ago we had one of the frontal winds come up the valley. One second it was calm, then you were hit with a strong wind. My cattle were out in the back pasture and ran up to be near the house. I walked among them to try to settle them down.

Got really creamed last night...driveway is totally flooded out, everything I had set up in my yard is down. All I can say is WOW. The thunder and lightning show was awesome.

Around here if you get rain you're lucky if it doesn't completely flood you out of your house. We sit here in the dry heat and watch the thunderclouds sit for hours 5 miles away from us. Our neighbors up the road got 6" in 3 hours. We got zero. And the lightening has been horrific. The fire department stayed really busy in the most recent storm putting out all the big tree fires. A guy we know said he watched the lightening sever the big oak in the front yard in half and then run across the highway and sever another big tree in half and left them both burning. He had to call the fire department to come and put out the fire in his yard because one half of the tree was on his shop building.

Rained hard again this morning but the sun finally made it out this afternoon. Finally made it out to the garden. Basswood tree went down and the top branches are in the garden. didn't do too much damage, knocked down a sunflower and squashed some squash vines.

Right after I posted this morning, it started to rain. I thought whoo hooo, maybe we'll finally get some, but we only ended up with less than an eighth of an inch. It seems that everybody in MN but us are getting pummeled with rain (and wind that we don't need).

I just want one good rain, like everyone else in the state seems to be getting.

Sorry to hear you had damage Tink, especially about your wife's hearing system. I do hope it gets repaired soon.

Only rain we get here lately is a picture of rain. It only grows a picture of a tomato.
