Didn't work. We got the overcast sky, but no rain. Nice try though.

We had a huge lightning storm last night that lasted about 15-20 minutes. Didn't get rain then, but it rained sometime during the night as I woke up this morning and all the streets were wet.

We got lightning, heavy rain and hail yesterday. Powerful thunderstorms but crappy timing. I was cleaning my garage and had all kinds of stuff in the driveway. The rain and hail came quickly and most everything got soaked. Oh well, we needed the precip. Maybe more to come this afternoon too.

We just got hot... I went to town yesterday and met some friends for dinner. I did my grocery shopping afterwards to avoid the crowds. Ended up heading home about 9 pm and it was still 99* in town.

About 9:30 it finally broke and dropped down to 88*. It was 84* when I finally got home at 10:00...

Ditto today, minus the hail. Nice and cool this afternoon.
I wish we would have had this weather back during the fire. Lost a lot of very pretty country. It'll never return to its glory in my lifetime, sadly.
