Steady for two hours now! Not something I am usually excited about, but I will gladly spend the day in the office for the relief that this brings to my farmer friends and my brown yard.

i went home early yesterday, about 5:15. there were dark ominous clouds and i saw several lightning bolts on my 5 minute commute. the moment i stepped under my stoop i heard the first raindrop fall. it was perfect timing. unfortunately, the rain only lasted a few minutes. our monitoring well is below normal where other parts of the area have normal ranged groundwater...

The bottom fell out here yesterday evening.
Major lightening event as well. In fact our pole out front about 20' from the front door took a major hit. I was in the kitchen with my back turned away from the window which faces the pole. I didn't see it directly but it damm sure lit up the entire place! Parts from the top wire's insulators were all over mine and the neighbor's front yards. Amazing the transformer didn't explode. A 2nd hit would have certainly done the job no doubt.
