When I turned on the television this morning, a flash flood warning for the adjacent county was being broadcast. We live about six miles from the county line. According to the announcement, that county had received 3 to 5 inches of rain overnight. Our streets were barely damp. They were completely dry under overhanging trees. I was so disappointed. We need rain badly.
Our town is under mandatory water usage restrictions—no car washing, lawn or garden watering, no house washing, etc. We’re trying to cut back on personal water usage.
It’s now just after noon, and it is pouring! Yippeee!!!! Maybe it will take the crunch out of grass. I’m not even going to complain that it’s raining so hard the satellite signal has been lost. I hope it lasts for a while.

The rain lasted about half an hour. The sun is now shining and the humidity is high.
Outside it feels like I'm trying to breathe in half-set Jello.
