We may finally get a big rainstorm

We haven't had much rain recently, and the last time a heavy rain was predicted, my town got heavy rain for about 90 seconds.  They've issued a thunderstorm warning and I can see the leaves fluttering in the wind.  I can hear thunder rumbles in the distance and I'm just waiting to see if we get the heavy rains they predicted.  I'll keep you posted!!  :nodhead:

Do you need rain ?

We went 11 days with no rain, that is damn near a drought in these parts. Been getting "pop up" storms the past couple days, they are very hit or miss, but I noticed a couple inches of water in a previously empty bucket, so I think we got popped.  My tomato's looked a lot happier    :)

I was in a race to mow the yard before the storms rolled in. I got about 3/4 done and had to call it a night. I literally got to my front porch and the heavens opened! I showered then went back out to the porch with a gin and tonic.

It's not a bad drought, but we could use some.  I thought I heard the rain :nodhead:  but it turned out to be a plane. :(

We had the same thunderstorm warnings a bit farther east than you.  One ripped up a town to our north but nothing but a few drops here.  This morning I woke to a very gentle rain.  Predictions are for rain for several days after a nice morning today.  I guess this is the day I've been waiting for to put down fertilizer and seed on my lawn.

On our drive to Medina last night, it was dry until sunset. Then just passed Cleveland we hit two patches of torrential rain. The darkness made it worse. But we arrived at our hotel just fine. Today it’s off to Nashville. 

Is this a vacation trip?  Have fun!  I love rain, but not when I'm driving, so be safe.

There was no rain by the time I went to bed.  It looks like we might have gotten a little overnight, but it wasn't anything that woke me up, and certainly not a good thunderstorm. :angry:

Yep. 4 nights in Nashville with my daughter. Grand Ole Opry tomorrow, Country Music Hall of Fame Saturday, and Jack Daniel’s distillery tour Sunday.  Long drive home Monday, but she pitches in with the driving.

Why are you always in Ohio?

I wish there was a "DISAPPOINTED" emoji.  I was hoping for an epic tale of rain, thunder, lightning, hail, and mayhem, :( but I got "might have rained a little"????? 

Maybe we need to discuss the dopey Super Mega Flower Wild Moon instead?

I share your disappointment.  I was all excited for a big storm only to have my hopes dashed.  There's supposed to be rain the next few days, but just annoying sort of regular rain, no thundertorms. :(

I wish DeathJim would conjure up something for us to get excited about!

Hurricane season starts next week. Volcano season is just around the corner if the 17 year cicadas don’t get us first. 

Can you at least order a Category 1 hurricane for @Kirby's doorstep sometime in the next month or so?  A volcano would be overkill - raining molten lava - but a nice small hurricane would definitely bring a nice rainstorm for her to enjoy.

They've promised us "rain showers" for today, but I certainly don't trust them after the earlier disappointment.   At least it's cooler today.

We are getting nice gentle rain now. :)  With none of that Ruby-frightening thunder and lightning. :)
