It's dumping some rain on Athens (Texas) right now.

THANK GOD!

I thought we were gonna end up like a desert or something. I have watched thunderstorm after thunderstorm sorda miss us. Now, it's coming down pretty good.

 

It's been raining pretty good here for the past 3 days, but now, I see the sun!!

 

That's good... especially around you.

The more rain, the better the yards that I replaced over there will grow...

 

It's been raining here the past couple of days too. Some pretty decent thunderstorms also.

 

About a month or so ago we had so much rain for so many days I was waterloggged. Since then we have had almost nothing.

It's really starting to dry out...we need rain bad.

 

Is everyone gonna brag about all the rain their getting?

 

We have been about 2 months wihout rain, many of them 100 to 104 days. We finally got some rain starting last night. It was welcome relief. My wife has an English garden type flower beds, and it has been killing her to trying to keep it all alive.

 

I can relate (sorda).

These aren't pictures of my lawn, just an example:

This is what my grass looked like last summer:


This an example of my lawn now:

 

 

You and your damn rain... Almost ruined my boating plans last weekend.

 

It can stop raining here for awhile. The crops are made mostly. I cringe everytime I look at one of those hurricanes headed for the gulf.

This is rice farming country. If matured rice gets a blowing rain it will lay it flat on the ground. It makes the harvest much more difficult.

 

We have been getting just enough rain to make it where I can't wash the truck. right now its sun I'm sure it going to rain again. Already twice today.

 

Braggers.

 

I don't see how you guys ever keep a car or truck clean. My son lives in Beaumont and daughter in Sugar Land.

 

We've had about 1/4" of rain in the last 2 months. Very dry here with the constant threat of forest fires. I wish it would rain.
