Who made the deal with the Rain Gods?

[Blondie]

Because pretty soon, we're going to need an ark here!

It's wonderful to finally see, hear and smell rain! I feel like I've been living in a dust bowl for the last 3 months! It's raining so hard and so fast that everything is overflowing!

And the lights keep flickering (it's raining THAT hard!) as they sometimes do in this area during a torrential downpour or t-storm!

YAY FOR RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had that here last week, Blondie, 2 months of rain in 2 days. Stay dry.

 

[caitycaity]

here too.

I don't know, but bless them. I'm here in Pr William County and it was absolute heaven to wake up to the sweet pitter patter of plopping rain drops on my cedar deck.

The only downside--pooch doesn't like to do his business in the rain.

We're supposed to get it later this afternoon.....and tomorrow....and Friday morning! As much as we need it, I want it gone by Friday afternoon. We're going to the shore for the holiday weekend!

The only downside--pooch doesn't like to do his business in the rain.

Yeah, I have one of those too! He doesn't like to get his feet wet!

He'll be holding it in all day long!

Uh oh...there goes the power again!

Thank goodness the computer is hooked up to an UPs system!

I love the fact that we're getting rain, too. However, I hate sloshing back and forth between classes in it and I didn't enjoy accidentally squishing my finger with my umbrella while I was waiting in line in the Financial Aid office.....I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying what I wanted to say when I did that LOL

Looks like your rain is heading up here and we can really use it.

We are just getting little thunderstorms in Longmont. Denver got it pretty good yesterday (along with hail and funnel clouds) but it's still dry here. Whoever did the rain dance for the east, could you do a little ditty for the west??? Please?

 

[Blondie]

Doing the rain dance for you right now TC!

I didn't bring on the rain, but it sure is GREAT!! And I love that rain-smell!

 

[nativetxn]

I think THIS guy did . . .



L A M B E R T V I L L E, N.J. — Douglas Carroll was apparently just trying to bring some rain to drought-stricken central New Jersey, but it landed him in court.
Police said they were tired of the dry weather too, but they couldn't condone Carroll's solution: a naked rain dance.

Around 3 a.m. on Aug. 25, Carroll, 24, strolled across a local bridge wearing only a backpack, police said.

When Carroll realized police were following him he ran off, trying to put on clothing as he fled. When they caught up to him, he said he was trying to bring some rain.


It may have violated anti-lewdness laws, but Lambertville Police Director Bruce Cocuzza admits Carroll's stunt may have done the trick.

"Apparently, you know, he must have heard from some folklore that a naked rain dance would do the trick," he said. "And it rained within 48 hours."

Cocuzza said Carroll pleaded guilty to public lewdness and agreed to pay a fine. He said the department might take a more lenient approach if the area needs another rain dance.

"Maybe we'll let him go next time," he said.

It's raining here too and I'm thrilled. My grass may live yet through the summer. It's been raining since at least 4:30 AM in Prince William County, I know because Holly decided she couldn't sleep with it raining and therefore neither could I, and she won't go to the bathroom in the rain either.

Yay for cold rain when you have no air conditioning!
