It has poured to the South and stormed to the North but we are as dry as a bone. My Son went to TN for a family reunion and was lucky to escape with his life ... rain from hell. Barn round the corner the well just dried up and they have 17 horses. I am helping. Me, I still have an Artesian well spewing out in addition to my drilled well. Great for now and hell in a muddy winter. good luck FF

I need my traxcavator CAt 955h in the winter just to get through the mud and after 25 years the head gasket blew. Rob is driving over to fix it

The rain keeps missing us. What we get won't even wet the dust on the ground.
I have to water my garden from the well twice a day for 30 minutes at a time.

Same thing at my house. Areas 10-15 miles to the north or south have been getting their regular soak downs. Nothing here to mention for more than a month. That's been standard for many Summers. I can watch the radar of storms from the West and see them split above and below us everytime. Now for anything that resembles a tropical storm, that makes a beeline for us with the life threatening rain.

Very dry at my house, but not nearly as dry even 1 hour away. The boys buried a monster stone yesterday and didn’t find any water. In years past that field would have standing water in it.
