We haven&#8217;t had any rain to speak of and all of our usual thunderstorms and tornadoes are occurring well to our Northeast in states like Iowa where weather like this is as rare as gold-pressed latinum&#8230;..  It&#8217;s mid-August instead of mid-April, although, they keep saying things are supposed to return close to normal in the near future&#8230;..  I&#8217;ll believe it when I see it&#8230;..

I never thought I would be praying for thunderstorms since that is usually the only way we get rain around here&#8230;..  A nice, slow, extended soaking rain is something I&#8217;ve haven&#8217;t seen in many years&#8230;..  Anybody have any ideas or forecasts on rumors behind the weird weather?&#8230;.
