I know there is a lot of places that are dealing with all the flooding and looks like there is more rain to come in those areas. I don't hope for anymore rain in those areas, but seeing rain in the forecast means a little something different to me. It means less of a chance of wildland fires, which in turn makes my job a little easier, since I'm a wildland firefighter. And there are still areas that need the rain to get back the lake levels and water supplies. What area do you live in, are you having to deal with all the flooding, if so, I hope everything turns out ok and the coming rain does not hit where you are, or do you live in an area where the rain is really needed?

I moved to PA 3 years ago from Austin. I miss seeing all the bluebonnets, inch and half below normal isn't too bad for this time of year. I did see on the weather channel that PA is in the catagory of being above average for flooding this year, so we will have to see how that goes. I lived off of I 35 and 183, didn't really see any bad flooding in that area while I lived there.

I am in the UK and that has seen some bad flooding in places over the last 12 months, luckily though, where I live I have not had to deal with that. I guess it must be really hard in your line of work, those fires can happen pretty quickly cant they? We are having quite a bit of rain at the minute so I think on that side of things we are pretty level, not too much and not too little.

Nice to hear that you are not having any fires and that you are getting enough rain in your area. These types of fires can happen quickly and if there has been little or no rain, then everything is really dry and easily burns, if the winds are high that just spreads it even faster.

Here in the US, there are areas that don't receive near enough, and other areas that receive way too much to deal with, loosing homes, cars and lives to the flooding.
