Re: Floor Talk August 15

Rain event welcome.  Forecast here was for 1 to 3 inches.  So far, leaves got wet, ground still dry as a bone, total rainfall has amounted to about the same as a heavy dew.

 

That was Wednesday.

 

Thursday night update -- 3.2 inches rain, yay!  60 mph wind, plus hail, boo!
