My guage shows 1-1/2" of rain, but I wasn't smart enough to put out fertilizer like Bird.

In the months of April and May, the New Orleans area has gotten 0" of rain. It has rained all around us but the storms have completely missed our area.
Since we usually get so much rain, I enjoyed the drought for the first month but now I am tired of watering the grass and plants.
They give us 60% chance of rain for tomorrow but we have had 90% chance of heavy rain a couple times last month and it missed both times.

.75 of an inch at my place last night and it looks like an even bigger/stronger storm is on it's way here today. My lake is still way down and the warmer it gets, the more nervous I become of not having a full pool for summer!!!

I will officially declare the drought over for my little piece of Texas.
Yesterday, in the early AM we received .4" followed by 4.8" falling between noon and 10:00 PM.
Got out to survey the damages this AM around 7:30. Found about 200 feet of road washed out and some serious damage to three culverts under the road. Approximately 300 feet of fencing damaged of which about 100' that will have to be replaced.
It is pouring rain as I type this with the weather radar showing the front, dropping the rain, running from Uvalde, to the SW, up to Hico, to the NE. Lots and lots of red in that front.
Guess I won't need to be looking for something to do for a while.

Hico needs the rain too, I have a couple of friends down there that are worried about their hay crops. This should help them out.
I don't know what this will do to our moisture deficit, sure would like to get 4-5 day's of "drizzle" and get a real soaking.
Eddie, you still have that big 6" main water line ?? that would fill it up!!

1.6 inches last night, a smigen of runoff into our dry tanks. Another rain this morning, over now. I'm not going to declare the drought over yet.... not nearly. Barely puddles around the house from roof runoff.
Weldingisfun, sorry to hear about your flood damage....hope all your critters are still at home.

We had no rain this winter or spring. All the showers missed us. This afternoon we had 3" in an hour. There is a light rain now that I hope continues for a few hours.

I haven't checked to see how much we got last night. It did however rain from 3pm to 1am solid. We got quite a bit of rain. More storms are due in the next few hours. We need it!
