Storm and flood!

[MoonShadows]

After almost 4 weeks with no appreciable rain, we had a tremendous thunder storm last night. It dumped .75 inches. But when the ground is this dry, a lot of rain water just runs off, but it bought us some time. Might have more t-storms this afternoon.

Saying a prayer for all those who have/may experience tornadoes and flood waters.

We have another day of projected rainfall -- possibly with damaging weather. So far, all we have had in south-est, central-est Wisconsin is nice rains with a bit of wind. I haven't felt the need to complain as most of the precipitation comes during the night and my newly seeded lawn is enjoying the moisture.

Stay safe, everyone! South of here the weather is expected to be much worse -- of course that's where more rain is not needed right now.

@Smart Red We are south of you , but not where it is raining. We actually could use some! Every time it is predicted lately it falls apart or just glances us. Not much accumulation.

Rained this weekend needed it badly

We got a half inch this morning.

We have gotten several days of rain this past two weeks. Not a significant amount but enough to keep the new grass germinating and the fertilized lawn outgrowing my mowing abilities.

I'd suspect that the deeper ground levels are relatively dry. Maybe an inch and a half of rain so far since mid April.

We have had more rain and flooding. I stayed up until four this morning watching tornado signatures come and go on the screen as the storm approached, waiting to see if I needed to bring in the donkey. The sun came out for the first time in weeks this afternoon.

Nothing here more than a drizzle or two today. The sun came out about 3:00 and no more rain or stormy weather is predicted for most of the next week. Haying time in south-est, central-est Wisconsin.

This is the third flood since I last posted. Our road is now closed both directions with about 2.5 feet of river running over the crossings. As long as our creek is is not over the road there is a long back route to civilization still open. If you want to hear the roar, click on the video link: https://flic.kr/p/suVDhr

It's also unnerving to see a 'possible' tornado symbol placed on top of us in the weather report for this weekend!

For goodness sake! Stay safe!
