Just started raining lightly, about an hour ago.
It rained hard for about 15 minutes, lots of wind and thunder, that was several hours ago. Cooled it off nicely outside, 61F right now.
Did any of it reach the fires? Even 15 minutes can be a help.
BummerI just read this: Missoula area storm sparks wildfires | KPAX.com | Missoula, Montana

So much for the rain helping. All it did was to spark more fires from the 100 strikes of lightening.
97°F, with a heat index in the 100's. Heat advisory, many schools around here got out early today. The one I was at lost its A/C, so we sweated it out all day, then they fixed it. More of the same expected for the rest of the week, and still no rain anticipated.
I don't mind heat if I have A/C or a nice cool body of water to hang in. Unfortunately, one can only take so much clothing off and still maintain some semblance of dignity! (and avoid being arrested...)
Well it sure would have created some interesting conversations around the supper tables in town.
Warm and sunny today but there was a horrendous (well, by our standards) storm overnight on Friday. I got up on Saturday morning to find the kitchen ceiling on the floor in a pool of water! This weekend was a bank holiday weekend (ie UK national holiday - don't ask!) so most of Saturday was spent on the telephone trying to get someone to come and do a temporary repair and quote for the repairs. It's still school holidays here so most of the roofing contractors in the telephone directory were away on holiday. I eventually found someone who told me his wife had insisted he came. He helped me clear up the mess as well, bless his little cotton socks!Our temp right now is 89, heat index of 94.
Sunny, but humid.
Tornado watches out in West Texas that stretches up through Oklahoma and into Kansas. Pretty much tornado alley. Hope they don't move this way, if they do, I'll get some more storm pics
Same temp.'s here today, miserably hot & humid. Schools let out early, the ones w no air conditioning. Hoping it will cool off tonight. Nothing yet.97°F, with a heat index in the 100's.
