1. so am I. We need a good deep rain or two. I have soaker hoses on right now

since we have gone longer than 6 days w/o rain.

[DS1]

2. Yeah, but you live in Texas

It's not supposed to rain there. People aren't supposed to live in the desert. ;)

6. we are not really in the desert. That is West Texas, and down to the

Big Bend. We actually are rather green up here. We just have two monsoon seasons with not much in between, a very long spring and a very long autumn, very long and hot summers and practically no winter. What passes for winter here is most folks's autumn and/or spring. But it still gets hot and we usually need more rain than we get. Now last year we got some sort of tropical inverson stuck on top of us and it rained every afternoon at 4 oclock for about 3 weeks. I thought we were in South Florida ... It finally stopped in July but we had only maybe 3 triple digit days all summer. It was great.

4. We had that around here earlier today

12. Tornado watch called off here (in VA).

:( And I was looking forward to a decent storm.

5. doesn't seem so bad yet

some lightning & some rain & some wind...

[Chan790]

7. Where are you in the state...

I'm just outside Farmington and the sky out the window is pea-soup green and the clouds are swirling languidly to go with my near-constant lightning (I'm on top of a mountain though so we're going to get more lightning than the rest of the state).

I know I don't like the looks of it.

Edit: Now the sun is out with a rainbow. Go figure.

13. I'm very close to you

over in Avon.

Had some scary looking clouds, but i've seen plenty worse storms over the years.
