It's RAIN, glorious RAIN!!
My 6 week old kittens got up and ran to the window when it started to pour!! You gotta figure, even though they were feral at birth - they probably never experienced rain before!!

It's raining here now!
Also, I got a nice downpour on the 4th of July. Nothing excessive, but enough to keep me from having to water the lawn.

Better luck today. For whatever it's worth it only rained for about 5 minutes here.

I was in the shower this morning when I heard a noise. My best friend usually comes by in the morning (parks her car at my house since I'm so close to UTMB) and has a cup of coffee. So, when I heard the noise, I thought it was her. Called out to make sure and got no answer. Then a few seconds later, I heard it again. Realized it was *gasp!* thunder! So, then I had to hurry to get out of the shower since it was storming.
It poured for about a half hour and then died down just in time for me to leave for work and not get drenched.

I'm jealous, extremely jealous. I wonder if the CC radar would even know what rain was if it detected it?

With this drought, I have a bad feeling about Corpus. I think a significant Tropical system will directly affect you all this summer. A higher threat than the upper TX coast.

You and me both. We'll either end this drought/heat wave with a storm or we will have a cold and damp winter with numerous low temps broken. I prefer the cooler option. The drought will not end just through a normal transition.

So far this week, I got a nice shower on the 4th of July, a *little* rain Tuesday night, storms overnight both Wednesday and Thursday and strong enough storms today to knock out my power!!! I was jumping up and down with glee! My yard is very grateful.
