Nothin. Overcast and 80*. Lots of stuff to the north and south and east of us. It's got us surrounded, but not a drop falling from the sky.

 

[bindian]

Hearing thunder now. For the 4th time. No rain. It's raining all around us, but not here.
hugs, Brandi

I thought that .08" that we got yesterday morning was going to be all, but then we had another shower before midnight, so altogether, we got about a quarter of an inch yesterday. I went and got my truck washed this morning to try to encourage it to rain some more today, but it's not looking too promising.

We have had only a trace of rain the past week. The dry and cracking black clay got so bad the front gate posts have leaned down, making the gate drag the ground. I let about 450 gallons of water run around the gate posts and it corrected itself. We have some cracks here big enough to put your whole arm in.

It been raining here all morning.. lot of heavy rain.. The kind you would write home about.. as I am doing now,, it is headed north,, hope it holds together.. so y’all can share the wealth. Live is good when it rains.. Lou
ps.. as of 11:15 am 2 and quarter inches.. still have some coming.. on radar..

 

[Bird]

You're very lucky, Lou.

 

[Lou66]

At 2:30pm we are right at 7 inches, I don’t think that is luck Bird,, I think we are just in the line of fire.. it keeps trailing right over the top of us.. I bet Houston got 9 inches or more in some places.. Tomorrow we got a 80% chance.. today we only had a 70%.:shocked:. I quit whining around noon today.. Lou

 

[Bird]

Yeah, Lou, that's a little more rain than I need. But even without rain today, our temperature range has been 65 to 77 and already starting back down; 74 right now. I can sure live with that.

 

[txdon]

Total .03" That makes .03" for the last 47 days. Come on Lou SHARE!

 

[lostcreekranch]

From radar looks like Colorado County had been getting big rains all day long. Don't know as we are having some R&R in San Diego this week.

75 degrees and sunny at 3 pm.

Don,, I would love to share,, All I need is two to three inches that would have made my hay fields happy.. I got another cut coming this year for sure.. It is so wet now that all that extra rain is just running off to the gulf.. What a waste,, it is raining again this morning started at 4:49am.. woke me up with the thunder,, guess I will spend the day waxing my wife jeep in the garage and watching it rain.. Lou

Lou,
We got about 1/4 inch. Thanks. More rain today, but I forgot to check the gauge when I came home. It's a lite rain right now.
hugs, Brandi

Don, when we lived down in Navarro County, I put up a new fence, using wooden posts, around what was going to be my garden. Somewhere I heard or read that if you put pea gravel around the posts instead of dirt, they'd stay tight and upright. So I got a load of pea gravel and did that. Total waste of time and money. The pea gravel disappeared into the bowels of the earth and I had to go back and pack dirt around each post. I had some cracks in that black land that you could lose a golf club in.

You can hear people talking Chinese in my pasture if you put your ear close to some of the cracks.

Heard thunder again today. It woke me up from my nap. No rain.
