The weatherman just said that we are between 111% to 131% of normal right now at the six local basins we have here. (Keep the rain coming Mother Nature!) We have been in a drought for that last few years. Infact, as far back as I can remember. So, how is your moisture level where you live? Is your area coming out of a drought this year too?

It poured last night, and the entire day we continued to get a steady downpour. It started to get close to sleet an hour ago. The wind is pretty fierce so it feels like it is freezing.

@celticeagle It's given me some great sinus headaches.

Britain's idea of a drought is the rain slowing to fine drizzle.

We have fires here where I live annually. Last year there was a real bad one. I just hate it so bad. I am hoping there won't be at least as many this summer.

@celticeagle Britain is very fortunate in such respects, also has no real earthquakes, tornadoes or other natural disasters. We are also quite fortunate to have considerable rain, which many countries would love to have, but of course being human we still constantly complain about it.

@Asylum ...Have to have something to complain about. I have all the natural disasters you mentioned all around me here. I am not amused either.

We have been a drought. Weather today as a little warm but cool. I sort of feel dry though.

Not that I am aware of. A few years ago there was the coal ash spill. The Dan River that flows into Virginia was compromised with coal ash. They said it didn't effect our area but I still didn't drink tap water for several months after. Glad your area is starting to retain more moisture. When we are going into a drought, they usually advise us to limit our water usage.

We had limits on water usage for years.

We are okay for now but if the summer heat continues we may have trouble. It would be great if we can find ways to send some of the rain from your neck of the woods to us withered and drying folks here.

We are just coming out of a drought ourselves and have little to spare. Would be nice if it worked like that and areas could just send it around where it is needed.

Ugh! Needed some of those here last year to put out the horrible fires.
