Are You Getting A Lot Of Rain Like We Are?

We have gotten alot of rain in Tennessee to. last year in the middle of summer we couldn't get a drop. hope that doesn't happen this year. it's a shame we have to get so much at one time but it happens.

Cats, I'm writing this in a hurry because I think our house is gonna float away soon! Yep, we're getting it. As a matter of fact, just today, I woke up from a nap to a HUGE thunderstorm. I turned on the Weather Channel and there was the red thingie at the bottom, telling me that we're in a flash flood warning, ESPECIALLY in Hayfield, the area we're in here in Winchester. We got 2" of rain in a half-hour with 1 to 2 more inches expected. I feel so waterlogged!!! I'm so sick of all this rain! It's already killed half of what I've planted outside. Our land doesn't flood because we're up on a hill, way above the lake level, and the lake has flood drains, but my plants still get washed out. We're WELL ABOVE average for this time of year, as I'm sure you are, too. Wasn't it just 2 years ago when we were having a severe drought? Memorial Day sucked here... it was raining. Actually, it's been raining a bit every day since then! Man! The tomato plants LOVE it, but nothing else is too happy about it. I NEED the sun to feel my best. This is insanity! I'm about to start building an ark... wanna join me?

We need more rain, the lakes are all low - well not the constant level ones

Isn't it weird how one part of the country can be a monsoon and another part a drought? Yes, California could definitely use the rain you're getting. Well it WAS rather gloomy here today but only a mild drizzle, nothing torrential like you're getting

I'm in Chattanooga and its rained everyday for the last 4 days. So yea i think we are getting a lot of rain. Most of it comes in thunderstorms other times its just a flash rain and it goes away quickly. But i cant wait till this squall is over i wanna go out and exercise.

Im in the UK and the past week or so i think we have had the odd shower of rain or two but other than that it has been absolutly beautiful. the sun has been out and i even have sun burn on my nose which is pealing so i look like a little reindeer! we never really get sun for this length of time here so im making the most of it. typical that im going to spain next week though were its also meant to be hot =] im gonna miss out on all the good weather.

the last couple of days we have gotten a fair amount of rain here in southern ontario canada but its ok, because since it was the official start of planting weekend a couple of weekends ago (victoria day), our tomato plants could use the rain!

we need the rain, all the lakes are low

The past couple of days we have been getting a lot of rain. But we really need the rain because we were in a drought. I wish it only rained at night and not during the day. If it was like that, I wouldn't mind it whatsoever.

Hm, I thought last year your area was suffering from droughts and had restrictions for water usage it could be relief from that. Rain also clears the air so you could be getting some relief from some smoggy air and muggy temperatures. Im not sure but I do know now scientist are predicting much flood in places all over the globe and it sounds like this may be the new 'el nino'. Its going to wreak havoc on places near the coast and countries like malaysia, especially if temperatures in the ocean keep rising--the earth's pangs.

I really enjoy the rain. We are getting here. I am in Idaho. I love the thunder and lightning. Gloomy days don't really bother me if there aren't a whole lot of them. Alot of people carry on about the rain and gloominess and I just laugh. I love it! I think it could be alot worse. Snow, heat and flooding. And it could even get worse than that. Rain is good for the crops and flowers. I enjoy it.

Hi Cats; Yes We too here in Missouri are getting way more than we need and we just got another 2+ inches the last couple of days, the yards/pastures are so wet the water has no where to go, weeds & grass growing like crazy people trying to mow and its a mess grass is in clumps in the yard and or mowers get stuck..LOL! Our lake is nice and full again but good grief, now the next couple of days its supposed to be sunny and reach almost 90 a couple of days so that means we'll have summer weather and that blasted humidity...(sigh)! We just are never happy are we?? LOL!! I know I'm not!!

these days we also have the annoying wet days. we either needn't the amount of rains.during these days it's time for farmers' winter wheats to be harvested and air-cured,need more sunshine,so do we

here..from malaysia..(south east asia)..we're not getting much rain even we are known as the tropical country which has rain all the time right on time..nowadays we are having hot sun instead rain..we hope daily that it would rain to cool the country down..its really hot that i've been sun burned till my own parents couldnt recognise me in airport..lol..hmm its true that God has a reason for all this..we should appreciate what we have rather than wondering how nice if we have others and more of that n this..guess have a suggestion for u..if the rain is not toooo heavy than u should go out and have a walk around with ur raincoat..its really nice to have fun under the rain and get a fren with u..pray for best..take care

Yep its been rainy and cool. My grandson is anxious for me to open my pool, I have been putting it off. Is too cold to get in it and why use all them chemicals for the pool to just sit there with no one in it. I have also been waiting for the helicopters thingys to finish falling from the trees, they make a mess in the pool. I will probably get busy the first week in June.

We have been getting alot, but definitely not as much as some of the other places. I am ready for it to get nice again.

Ours tapered off. We had a little on Tuesday, but that is about all this week. I would like it to rain every third or maybe fourth day, just for the gardens.

OMG we have been having storms here all evening...we had one a bit ago and had torando warnings out...and then the hail stated coming down and somewhere about 15 miles from us a torando hit a few buildings and the news is saying that some people are trapped in them right now so we are watching the new real close this evening.

Hi there Cats and Dogs. Yesterday was just the kind of day you want to get rid off as it rained about 10 hours continuously, and the wind was blowing pretty hard. Fortunately, today the sun is up and trying to dry the streets, but the wind is still present, and the temperature is hardly climbing, but hey, it is still morning. Reporting from Bucharest, Romania. Take care and have a Sunny day

I live in Northwest oklahoma... and a couple of weeks ago, It was raining daily,,, even when they were not saying it was going to rain! But it was good for the crops.. not good for our yard however.. lol.. couldnt get out there to mow so it got way to tall
