Thunderstorms in the night brought another 1.80" of rain to our already saturated soil. The road is washed out, again, after more than 10" if rain in 2 weeks.
Some friends of ours were killed, and relatives injured June 12th. Some members of our Amish community have gone to Arkansas to relocate, and we have no way of finding out if they are o.k. http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/tre...-us-usa-flood/

I'm sorry to hear about your friends and relatives, rdlr. I hope you had better news about your Amish friends.
Unhappy about the rain here too. Not floods thankfully, but wish everyone would drive to suit the conditions.
Today is a classic example of why I hate thunderstorms:
-at 6:30 pm, it felt like sunset... but sunset is after 9 pm
-at 7:00 pm the streetlights came on (photocell triggered)
-no dark, ominous cloud formations;
like an English winter flat-grayness rainy, but with an electrical storm making it dangerous to be outdoors.
-unpredictablity; any hour of the day or night can be unsafe...
I just went out 5 min earlier for a run,
but these dark, flat gray skies fired up a moderate electrical storm
and there is no forecast lull from rain until tommorrow... maybe Tuesday, so I knew I couldn't "wait it out."
From now until then, any time without rain or lightning will be pure-fluke.
From a cold week last week, straight into a week of drought with warm temperatures.
With moisture in the ground from rain early in the week... last week should have been the warm temperature week. Now, its warm and most of the soil has dried out with no rain in the immediate forecast! The weather is always backwards for my garden
Unhappy with this heat. It felt like an oven and everything outside is blistering hot.
