Flood Watch

@DaddyEvil They are calling for rain on Wednesday I believe. There is a nice breeze today, which is totally making the weather tolerable. I wasn't ready for this so soon.

Thank you. That's the same temp we're supposed to get today and tomorrow here but we have 100% humidity but still no rain yet. Just lots of thunder and lightning. I hope you get some rain soon with that temp. Good luck!

@Juliaacv We have a 70% chance of storms today and a 90% chance of storms Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a 31 mph/50 km wind today here. (I had to look at the weather map. I haven't been outside today.)

I hope your area isn't in drought conditions there. Good luck!

@DaddyEvil Its actually not to bad but it goes quick here. Once the rainy season is done, this place can go sideways usually does go to extreme conditions. I still wonder how the older generations survived this land. No civil society should live in a land this harsh. But its so pretty, probably how it went too.

@crossbones27 Oh, I see... We don't have a rainy season and a dry season. We get rain all year round here. A few years ago we had a bad drought here and the grass and trees all turned brown and the leaves fell off the trees. It wasn't until the next spring that it rained again. The brown grass turned to dust before it started raining.

@DaddyEvil Thank you, me too!

@AmbiePam You're very welcome. If you came over today, Pretty bought some chocolate ice cream and some Vanilla Bean ice cream. I'd share some with you. (The chocolate ice cream is hers but I'd still share some of it with you. )

Thank you. Ten years ago we moved from a hilltop to a valley but still in the same city. We haven't been bothered by flooding in either part of the city so far. I hope you get some gentle rain today.

@rakski The forecast is saying 90% chance of storms during the night... And the sky still looks like it could rain at any time.

We're still getting thunder and lightning but no rain yet 5 hours after I wrote this discussion.

@DaddyEvil oh okay. I hope it will not rain

The US is a big place. I'm hoping we don't see any tornados this weekend. There's a possibility of some so you never know.

Thank you. I hate seeing floods anywhere. Hopefully, we all just get enough rain to keep the grass and trees here nice and green.

@DaddyEvil Her trip was made safely in both directions. Last night Kansas got hit hard. On I70 near Abilene there were 100 mph straight line winds.

@GardenGerty We've had straight line winds here. Years ago I was working at the Best Western as a night clerk when a straight line wind went through and sucked the glass out of the windows of our house. My second wife, her daughter and Pretty were in the house. I called to make sure they were okay and my wife said everything was fine. I heard wind over the phone line and asked if she was outside... She said she was in our bedroom so I asked why the wind was so loud. That's when she realized there was no glass in the window in the bedroom, in the kitchen and in the laundry room. When I got home the next morning, I saw a huge tree down that had been beside the driveway. It had fallen and crushed her car. The glass from the windows in the back of our house had been pulled out of the windows, carried around the corner of our house and smashed in the side yard. I hope nobody was hurt. Property damage can be repaired.

I hope she makes it safely. Still no rain but the sky is almost black!

@DaddyEvil, I am glad you are okay. You know I am trying to pray for all of us here in myLot who have health problems like me... I pray every time I remember. God bless us all with good health. Anyway, I agree with what you said about governments. God bless you and pretty.

@luisadannointed You and your family, too.

Hello! Yes, I had problems with my eyes again but am back now. Pretty and I are both doing fine, thank you. I hope things go well there without flooding... Politicians can be the worst kind of crooks, in my opinion.

I doubt your trees would survive our dry climate or the spring heat plus if I had to water them I'd go broke @DaddyEvil I do have some honey locust trees, 2 are young saplings though.

My area of TX is desert where you'll find low growing mesquite and cacti but not many trees unless the Rio Grande actually has water in it @DaddyEvil oak trees would never survive in areas like mine that get an average of 6 to 10 inches of rain in a year, 10 inches is if we are in a rainy year.

We have 100% humidity this morning but still no rain. We do have lots of thunder and lightning, though. I'd let you have a few trees if you want them. The back of our yard is a small forest. True, I wouldn't want a bon fire here right now even with the rain we get. The Mark Twain National Forest is very dry and that isn't too far away from where I live.

When Mom used to upset my youngest brother and I, we called her the wicked witch... She always told us to have her broomstick back by midnight in case she wanted to run away from home, too. I'm always careful. Dinner is ready if you're hungry. I fried the pork loin and made broccoli with cheese sauce to go with it.

@RasmaSandra If you lived next door, I would have taken some over to you.

@DaddyEvil that was amusing, If I lived next door I would have flown over with my broomstick for dinner. Sounds good, I refer to myself as the old bat in the attic,

We're supposed to reach 85F yesterday and today but only reached 82F yesterday. It didn't even rain yesterday. We just had 100% humidity... It started storming right after midnight last night and is still pouring down this morning. I hope you're getting rain soon to cool the temps down.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I'd enjoy those temps!

@DaddyEvil Yeah Saturday and Sunday is supposed to be a wash out and in the 60's

@just4him You're lucky! We didn't see sun yesterday and aren't supposed to see sun the rest of the week. Just lots more rain.

I don't live in a flood area. To the South of us floods (farmland) and to the North of us it floods (the heart of Springfield). It started storming after midnight last night and is still storming. At least the tornadoes didn't hit close to us last night.

@DaddyEvil I'm glad the tornadoes didn't come close. We had rain all night and they're calling for more today. The sun is out temporarily.

Thank you. Still no rain yet even though we still have lightning and thunder. The forecast is still showing rain today through Friday, though.

@DaddyEvil We have rain in these last few days. I hope it will get warm soon.

Thank you. You stay safe, too.

@Shivram59 You're welcome.

@DaddyEvil Thank you. For many years the river near our town never got flooded. I'm safe, so is our town.

My brother lives about 2 miles away from us and we could always go there. We won't flood, though.

Thank you. Flooding is usually in the small towns around us, not in our city.

Yes, it is. It rained all day yesterday and is supposed to keep raining through tomorrow.

Thanks. It's a beautiful day today with a high of 79F.

Thank you. So far, still no rain today. We shall see.

I'm not running outside and holding up a metal baseball bat and yelling at the storm to come get me.
