A friend in Wheatland says it's really hailing hard and tornado warnings are busting out--You gettin' any of this, Auntie Em Honcho?

I take it back, had to dodge a couple tornadoes and some baseball size hail, but we got a good 8/10 last night about 5.  But you know you are in trouble when standing on the porch and watching it rain you hear the sirens go off in Lyman and all the computers and phones were blaring alarms.  Especially when all you see is a gray wall to the west. but we got just a little bit of marble size hail, not enough to tear up much.  But man the last 4 days we have had some nasty storm roll through the area, lots of big hail, 60mph winds and 4 tornadoes now, luckily mostly away from much.

I'm beginning to get the idea that this rain you talk of is water falling from the sky.  Preposterous.

Like Amnesty, Obamacare, buh-blah buh-blah buh-blah? Yes Virginia, water falls from the sky...It's a scientific consensus, dontcha know...

Uh, sorry for that last, the opening was just too...You know...

We're getting wet, just NOTHING like the alarmists up here are chicken little-ing about. They cry wolf a few more times and they'll get folks hurt.

Got an inch the other night, a good lightning show--No stronger storms than we are used to up here. Today there's a slow soaker going on, we're at  a half inch as I type. Almost done.

I was hoping for a new roof...These weather guys are politicians, can't keep a promise to save their butts...

But water from the sky?  Unbelievable.  Methinks someone has been reading too much sci-fi.

I think he got into that sugar water/alcohol mix out on his porch 

........d@mn rain!  Grrrrrrrrrrrr...............

Well Nony, we're getting pieces of your prain; 2.25 inches last night after three strong cells went through. My insomnia decided to have me watching all three. The guage says 2.25, but the water was moving sideways, so I don't know how accurate the amount is.

50 miles southwest of us they got 9"...

We have an iron-framed hammock, weighs around 100 lbs, was moved about fifty feet from where we left it last evening. Quite the show.

105 degrees here right now, adding in all that water in the air that you guys want so bad, it feels like 110.  Pretty normal for this time of year, so I still can't figure why people are surprised.  The weather guessers are surprised, but that's no surprise.....

They're on a campaign to get everyone on board with the global warming scam. My friends in Phoenix told me the other day that the weather frauds down there are running around waving their arms in the air like it's the apocalypse. OOOOOOH a hunnert-sixtEEEEN! Never mind that this is the desert and 116 is THE AVERAGE TEMP IN THE DESERT IN JUNE!!!!

They also bank on the brain-numb panicking on cue, and they do....

OK, so you guys up north are finally doing something useful.  All that rain you're getting has sucked all the humidity out of the air here, and it's actually bearable for the first time in months.  It's actually cooling down in the mornings and evenings, and the humidity last night was in the low 30's.  Don't know what y'all are doing, but keep doing it!!

Stetto, I can remember working on the ramp in Tucson when it was 110. For a week straight.  People didn't seem to complain as much then. 

Desert?  Since most of the country thinks the US is New York or California, they don't know what a desert is...

Finished wheat harvest today, er this evening.  Some fields made 2 bushes per acre up to 18.  That's not counting the fields we sprayed because they were going to be even worse yielding.   And of course the millet and milo got hailed bad 10 days ago. 

Ugh, one of those years again.  That sucks, I guess the good thing is you didn't send a lot of time and fuel trucking it?

We have actually had some showers here, we had the big snow in April which put some submoinsture down, then it turned off  dry and windy,  early then we finally had about a half inch a month or so ago, which kept us staggering along .  Had a thunderstorm drop about 8/10 with just a little hail, and then day before yesterday we got a hard 8/10 of rain in a shower, so its not looking too bad other than the little hail and some wind damage.  Almost like a normal summer before AL Gore invented Global warming.

3rd of an inch here yesterday, it is tapering off quickly. The gawden has finally got more vegetables than weeds in it (from a distance, anyway), and the heat has the corn knee-high. Any severe wind/hail/torrential rain stuff usually waits until there are near-fully-developed ears on the corn...

Those Walmart redbeans are doing quite well, but our storage onions (grew 'em from seed this year  ) still look like little green toothpicks sticking out of the dirt.

I think I'm gonna till in a truckload of manure this fall or next spring...That black primordial ooze is kind of a disapointment this year...
