| Just had one down here in cincinnati also. Better than nothing, but your right, we need some more. Looks like it is going to be a long hot summer. |

| no kidding...the only thing that seems to be doing well in my beds are the sedums and the three cannas in the pots. :( |

| I'm in Naperville and we had a quick thunderstorm Sunday night that dropped 8/10" of rain and took out 6 trees or huge parts of trees...I think it was a microburst or mini tornado. I'd almost have rather had the drought conditions. |

| We've received our first popcorn storm in a few weeks here on the southwest side of Chicago! WHOOT. Long way from drought ending though...but better then nothing! Maybe we are all going to get lucky tomorrow! *crosses fingers* |

| Heard thunder near downtown, then... nothing. I was so excited I rounded up the dogs, gathered the cushions off the patio furniture and prepared to hunker down for a terrible storm. pfffft. Got out the hose a bit ago, figuring I can't count on the clouds tonight. |

| Oh Robieusa... I'm sorry the rain didn't get ya too. It must of just missed you. :( It knocked over some of my hollyhocks, no complaints about that..shoulda had them staked. But I just tied em up with some yarn to the fence (they are along a fence) till they can be tied up right in the morning. We may get rain tomorrow night! Lets keep our fingers crossed. |
