We are under an extreme heat warning today so I will be staying indoors as much as I can today. We are back home from getting the auction wins. We actually got into a little rain shower down the road from us, but it stopped going up the hill to our house. Of course! Always all around us, but no rain at our house. We have a second chance now as I see 100% rain chance at 3 pm. It is 2:52 now as I am typing this. I checked radar and it is in the city and south of the city. We are north of the city so it will depend on which way this system is going. Cross your fingers for us. It is very dry and dusty here! I'll be posting some of the things we got in the auction soon! Is is dry and dusty in your area? Photo Credit: Public Domain, Rain Drops

No, it’s quite wet. In fact, a severe thunderstorm just moved through. The rain is starting to die down. We have been under a heat advisory, though.

Still no rain, but I think it has all moved out of the immediate area here now.

It is very hot in the Lake Charles area today since a heat advisory is in effect until 8pm local time.

Yes, here too. We had a high of 100 today in the forecast. I am not sure if we made it or not with the thunderstorm in the area mid-afternoon. It was welcome for the cool down either way. We had a breeze at my house even though we didn't see any rain.
