And the rains came.

In the midst of our drought, the heavens opened up last night. It got pretty windy, and the lights flickered a few times but didn't go out.

A straight-sided bucket I left outside held six inches of water this morning. Hope G*d helped those with a FEMA tarp for a roof.

UPDATE: Weather Underground lists a Personal Weather Station at Popularville, Mississippi which shows precip total for 4/29 as about half an inch, and for 4/30 it's 2.5 inches. That's more like it!

The link too long to post here, just doesn't work. Plug in "70427" as the zip code and go from there.
