Does anyone else feel like they're living in a rain forest?

[NaturalHigh]

It's pouring again here in Northeast Oklahoma.

[ewagner]

1. hmmmmm...more rain?

does anybody know exactly how big a "cubit" is?

[19jet54]

2. Finger tips to elbow...

... better get started!

[NaturalHigh]

3. No, but I know what a "gully washer" looks like.

I can look out my window and see one. It's good sleeping weather; maybe I'll go back to bed.

[19jet54]

4. Nope...

Vegas is hot and very dry - It finally cooled down, today is only 105 - down 10-15 degrees from last week with half the rain from normal (7" per year is normal) Clue - if it is green where you live with major rivers, it most likely rains there?

24. Send some of that rain to Los Angeles - dry with fire danger

5. was just thinking the other day that part of Texas is turning into a rain forest

nt

[NaturalHigh]

8. A week or so ago...

there were concerns that the Red River would seriously flood. We've had flooded rivers and lakes here for a while.

10. It's lush and green here in northeast Texas

usually by this time of the summer everything is dried up, brown, and dead. It is so beautiful and the weather is great. And I can drive with my car windows down because the rain has washed all the pollen out of the air.

26. Texas gave us GWB

nuff said:cry:

[Xenotime]

6. That's what happens when the earth starts warming.

[karlrschneider]

7. Got a frog strangler goin' on here at the lake.

It even shut down the satellite...

[NaturalHigh]

9. You're not far from me, Karl.

It looks like we've got a pretty big rain front coming through for a while.

[karlrschneider]

12. Yup, looks that way. But the heaviest stuff is starting to move east out of

Wagoner & Mayes counties...
Last year the garden burned up, this time it's drowning. Sheesh...

[mtnester]

11. Sorry, Ohio is the Sahara Desert right now

Hot hot hot and bone dry. My yard in early June looked like it normally does in late August when it goes naturally dormant (brown and crunchy) due to heat and lack of water

In June, I went more than two weeks without mowing...unheard of if you keep a mowed lot.

It is cool toady, and we got a little rain two days ago, but we are WAY behind in places.

[lies and propaganda]

13. my sister just came out to Phoenix from OKC

i prayed she would bring it with her!!!!!!!!!!

[NaturalHigh]

14. If only it were that simple.

Keep your chin up, though. Last year, we were in the middle of one of our worst droughts ever.

[lies and propaganda]

18. oh i know!

Im really glad for you as a state! Im in Arizona and I surely know the affects of years of drought...

[StarryNite]

20. We here in Phoenix

are in about year 11 of a drought now? :shrug: I heard it could wind up being a 30 drought. Yet they keep putting in more golf courses and so many new homes come with swimming pools.

[lies and propaganda]

22. Im in Chandler, so I feel you...

Its been an especially brutal summer thus far as well...

[kestrel91316]

15. What's "rain"?

[Liberal_in_LA]

25. God's tears

[Marrah_G]

16. It seems like one here in New England

Everything looks overly lush and green. Not that I am complaining, it just looks and feels "off" to me.

[malta blue]

17. My basement flooded for the 2nd time in 2 weeks

and the yard looks like a swamp. I get tagged by upwards of 20 mosquitos every time I walk the dog, even in long sleeves and long pants. I got bit on my ear 6 times this morning alone...

Rainforest indeed....

[geomon666]

19. I miss the 3 straight weeks of rain.

I'd rather have a monsoon than this oppressive heat.

[goodgd_yall]

21. Just got a call from a friend in New Mexico

It poured like crazy last night---again.

[Liberal In Texas]

23. Yep. Our back garden/yard looks like a jungle. Mowing twice a week in the front.

This is unheard of in July in North Texas.

I love the growth. But the mosquitoes are terrible. It's as humid as Miami without the benefit of the sea breeze.

Yeah right, the climate isn't changing.

[XOKCowboy]

27. Oh no.. Just watched the 5 day forecast on the Weather Channel

Here comes another one. It's going to hang around a while too then meander down south and soak them some more.

I've got family about 40 miles north of Tulsa. I'm getting daily reports from the family. I feel for ya.
