Raining Here……Yes Rain

[memtb]

We get very little moisture here…..average annual total precipitation is under 5".

We're getting rain of Biblical proportions, least for us. So far, just under 2" since around 10:00 last night……and still raining.

This was in yesterday's Cowboy Daily…..I hope that the author didn't have some sort of premonition! We live about 17 miles downstream of Thermopolis, on the Bighorn River only about 12-15 feet above typical water level!

Wyoming History: It’s Been A Century Since 100-Year Floods Devastated Central Wyoming

Dozens were killed when torrential rains in July and again in September 1923 brought a double dose of 100-year floods that put Thermopolis and other towns under water and caused the worst train wreck in Wyoming history.

Glad your getting some moisture as I am sure your area can use but I also hope it stops soon!

I've got my tinfoil hat on today. Has anyone else heard of cloud seeding? We've been getting rain on a daily basis lately here.

If this keeps up, we may be playing that old Johnny Cash song….. Five Feet High and Rising

Maybe you should start thinking…hmm.."crawfish ponds". The new Delta Gold…as based on this past years price.

Or, I guess you'll just be one of those "Rainy Day People"

Going to rain most of the week here in Tennessee, but it woke me up last night pounding on the roof so hard .

I wanted to put in a nice pond, with one end shallow for crawfish traps……my wife didn't share the same dream! memtb

May showers bring June flowers.

My bees would like that! Though those showers bring a lot of weeds to cut/poison too.! memtb

Someone say RAIN!!!
This is the lower side of our property. There was a neighbor that put in a driveway and the builder only put in a 16" pipe (should have been a 36") and it was sloped the 180 the wrong way. I ended going and digging the pipe up and putting it in correctly and also another 24" next to it. Now we don't get flooded. But we get rain every other day here in GA.
Yes that is Samson's Wagon it is a 1/4 size of the real one.

Kinda hard to imagine only 5 inches per year, Think we've already had that this week. But our ground is sponge.

I thought that Western Wyoming, where I first moved to from Louisiana was dry……it was the Amazon compared to here.

That said, 2 years ago we had a tremendous year, moisture wise. This year was looking pretty normal…..but, things are looking up! memtb

I'd worry more about it if Noah shows up than the author with the Cowboy Daily. Good luck, hope you get much needed moisture but not to much.
