Boy was this a relief. At 8:35 pm it started to rain and I wanted a decent video which finally happened ...... I think ..... but I just had to share this wonderful news. It's now 9:45pm and it's still raining only not as hard as in the video. For who ever wished it to rain here THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU it worked. and many many to all of you who did.
Boy what a wonderful relief. The last time we got some good ole rain was on May 20. Oh sure there were 2 days when we got a few drops but this is rain. I am ...

@rebelann Rain can be a godsent, specially if there is a drought. Hail is never good.

Too much rain in a desert is not good, desert plants don't know what to do with too much rain plus it usually causes flooding.

@rebelann Heavy is good - even for a little while - we hardly ever get to experience "heavy" these days. But any bit of rain is welcomed and I'm glad you got some!! We're starting to get to triple digits . . . no rain for us.

We've been under a severe heat warning for a couple weeks already, this week it's all triples but maybe next week it'll cool down to the 90s for a while.

Thanks. It actually lasted over an hour but came down hard and heavy for only about 30 minutes then became a normal rain. It's way too humid and it's hot so I'll have to suck it up and just deal with it, swamp coolers don't work well if it's over 20% humidity. It might rain again today as it's partly cloudy so hopefully it'll give us another hour of rain, I love rain.

Yes, lets celebrate ..... I will do a rain dance in 5 days, the ground here needs to dry some before more rain falls, it easily becomes flood conditions when we get too much rain. Yesterday was perfect.

@rebelann I will be happy if it's only rain and no hail. When it's so hot it happens that we also get hail.

@rebelann Oh lord, yes. I remember having a terrible dust storm once because we hadn't had rain in months, and the wind in Oklahoma is terrible. You could hardly see your hand in front of your face. Everyone was praying for rain. Like I said, I'd definitely be excited.

Ahh yes, I remember reading about some of those instances there. I can remember sand storms here that would blow like crazy all day long then slow a little at night only to pick up again the next day. I hate sand storms.

Thanks. Naw, didn't have a rain barrel and didn't really expect it to rain. In order for a rain barrel to be useful we'd have to get a whole lot more rain, this morning there was only about a half inch in any of the right side up pots outside.

You had quite a heavy rain, enjoy! We had a little thunderstorm a couple of hours ago with rain. The rain wasn't enough to help should any of those lighting strikes started a fire. The storms this summer are so extreme, not in a good way either.

Yay!! It rained and it seems that it was badly needed there. We are having gloomy and rainy days in the last few days. We would love to see sun shine in the sky. Gloomy days in a row can be annoying.
