Wow, oh, I so hope the tide has turned on those devastating fires across that part of the country. I just can't imagine what we'll find in October.... I want pictures of you'all dancing in the rain!!!

Great news, Bill! I wish I could send you some of our rain, we've had thunderstorms almost every day for 3 weeks.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Good news, Bill! I stayed up late last night watching for an approaching storm. Alas, it went right around us again! Our situation isn't quite as bad as yours, but we're getting close. And the fires are starting to pop up. We've got one way north of us that has been burning since Father's Day....4,000 acres and another that has been burning for over a month....6,000+. Luckily, both are in wilderness areas, so homes are not in danger yet.

Daphne, it bypassed you and came straight to us! The thunder and lightening was incredible.

It hit our area too! Lots of lightening and another downpour. Seems like it's been raining for weeks and flooding is a problem in some areas. Glad you finally got some rain there, Bill. Sounds like it's badly needed.

Bill that is such good news! Hopefully the "rain door" is opened and it will continue - just not flooding rain.
Take care everyone in the path of storms! We're sitting high & dry with blue skies and 80+!

Karyn, you're not blowing hard enough! That rain is not making it close enough to the coast!

I would have gladly shared some of April and May's bounty. We still don't have the driving range open, we had white caps on it in mid-April. I keep reminding myself that this has been a challenging spring, but it could have been so very much worse. We suffered no permanent damage and the course is intact not in little pieces like the tornado affected areas or under feet of water.
Hopefully, this will resolve some of your issues down there. Thinking good thoughts for you!

Wow! I'm glad you made it through!
Karyn! Wrong coast....that's Myrtle Beach. They've already had their fair share. Wow, the weatherman just announced we hit a record today of 100 degrees! Mercy! No wonder I almost fell out earlier today working in the kitchen! William almost had a heat stroke out working in this heat!
