Turkey Track Bar said:Great news Jinglebob!
I was just looking at the radar and thought to myself that you and John must be getting a good shot! Yippee!
Tap, Liberty Belle, and Faster Horses should either be getting some or should get some tonight!
We had a sprinkle at noon-time. I don't think there was enough to even measure. When you and Jassy get your fill, will you send it north/northeast? It looks like Empty Pockets might have come up empty too![]()
This being said, those who are getting pounded with tornados and hail are in our thoughts and prayers.
Cheers---

Once we get, oh, maybe 7 or 8 inches, we'll sure send the rest on to you guys. :wink: :lol: :lol:
Naw, I have faith that the good Lord will send us all just as much as we need. He always has. 'Course, some folks are greedy and want more than he sends to them, sometimes. :wink:
Rain is wonderful stuff. maybe I'll have to dig out my rain poem and post it here.![]()

When you consider we've only had about 3 to 3.5 total so far since the first of the year, that's a pretty big deal.![]()
Praise the Lord!![]()
According to the map there are areas north of us that are supposed to get up to or over 2 inches.EmptyPockets said:Great poem Jinglebob! Just as true today as it was 20 years ago.
We just had the storm front move thru here an hour ago, rained hard for 30 minutes then the sun came out. Got .80!!!!
I sent it on north so Turkey Track Bar, Lazy Ace and BRG, get your slickers on! :wink:

Our normal yearly average for right here is 16 inches. About 12 last year. 10 the year before and maybe 13 the year before that. We are making the average up for them years in the 90's when we were getting 24 to 26 a year. :x
