We desperately need rain. Today was the 29th day in a row of above average temps. It has been hotter than hot and most of the state is in severe drought.
What we don't need is another storm.
Tuesday morning a derecho blew through. This is at least the second one this summer. The first one was July 1 when G and I were in Virginia. We came home to find a very large part of one of our parkway trees laying parallel to the curb, almost the entire width of our property. The wind gust that took down our tree was estimated at a minimum of 60 mph. In our one remaining tree in the backyard we also have a large, partially cracked limb that's just waiting for a big wind to bring it completely down. Depending on the direction of the wind, the limb could possibly take out the power and cable wires when it falls. *sigh*
I'm not a big fan of rain, but I would be thrilled to have a gentle, steady, slow, soaking rain overnight for the next few nights. Sadly what it seems we'll be getting is another storm.
