Guess what? It's raining again.

We've received a brief respite from the fireworks. No fireworks were fired the night before last and Mother Nature put on her own fireworks show last night, drowning out any chance for human-created fireworks. We had a set of storms last night that just kept going in the same places. Specifically, they kept going right over our house.

In 3 hours, we picked up around 4-4.5 inches of rain. It was coming down in buckets and going sideways at the same time. For about 10 minutes early on, the outdoors resembled an ice dispenser as we had quarter-size hail. I don't think I've ever seen a summer with this much rain and this many big storms.

Meanwhile, people 30 miles south of us got absolutely no rain. Not a drop.

All that said, I believe you can take one thing from this post: I must be getting old because I'm talking about the weather like a farmer in a corner café. Please resume your normally scheduled life and ignore the babbling man in the blog.
