Kevin got up at 4am to go on the backporch to look at the rain. Although it's quite cooler this morning, this precipitation is much wanted. At least for a few days we are spared wildfires.
I just hope all my plants survive these winds. I always loose some of the young corn or saplings in these high winds. The only people who are hurting right now are those drug smugglers caught overnight in the mountains and the people whose homes were charred in TX and OK. We had tornadoes strike down in AR. KY, TN yesterday within a 24-hour period.
This storm will make me stay inside and start my first report.
