We're supposed to get more through Thursday, and it's supposed to cool down some (Mostly 80s for the highs). Cool-down, and settle the dust in the driveway and our road, which are all gravel.

Rain = Good Lightning = Bad I got a tower down now, hopefully due to power. Though I'm ok with only cutting my grass monthly... |

Glad to see it. It was 87F (no, really
 ) when I got up at 1:00 AM yesterday morning.

It was good to finally have a gravel road that didn't look like the 30's dust bowl when going down the road.
Only got about 1/2" rain where I live, so hope a bit more drops from the clouds, instead of me yelling at them. |

Drove to walmart with my 2 little ones tonight. They wanted the windows back up in the car because they were cold. Enough rain to make some mud in the yard. The dogs put black mud paw prints all over the floor

Funny how that all sounds nice, after the hot/dry weather.

Something else. I've never seen it like this. My 20 min morning commute turned into 1.5hrs before I got mad and just came home. I was grateful just to be able to get home.

I took these on my way to work this morning. The first is looking out over a flooded Natural Bridge Rd and I-70 towards Lambert.
 This was taken on Natural Bridge Just south of I-70.  I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it rain so hard before. |

I just got off the phone with my parents who live in St Peters. I70 flooded at Dardenne Creek and at Spencer Creek. Flooding at Dardenne Creek is a given with this much rain. But none of us can remember Spencer Creek ever flooding I70. My parents have lived there for 50 years now and that is where I grew up at.
Even Highway 19 flooded just outside of town here in Montgomery County. And it flooded in a spot that has never held water before. Even Mexico, Mo had streets flood that normally don't. Flooding at the railroad bridge and Business 54 is a given for there. Later today I ned to get out as see if I can get the lake to drain in my yard. Either that or I need to call and have it stocked with fish  . Most of the town here is a natural swamp anyway.

I definitely would have rather had an all day slow and steady rain versus what we got last night. Half of my yard was flooded this morning. I could tell exactly how high the water got by the grass clipping that washed up I am an hour west of St Peters and didn't get as much rain as my parents did.
These types of storms don't help much since most of the water just runs off. I had to dig into a pile of dirt today to try and fill in a low spot next to the house. And even with all of the rain, the dirt was still pretty dry 1 1/2" to 2" below the surface. And they are predicting more thunderstorms tomorrow and tomorrow night into Thursday morning. I don't mind the rain since we nee it but can do without the gully washers. |
