Thunderstorms

Thursday, Stacey and Linda went to Smith's Grove to stay a couple of nights with Pauline and Brent.
Friday, the weather had cooled down and it was only around 80 degrees and cloudy. It was spitting a little rain off and on during the day, but not enough to wet things down. Around 5:30, the first real rain shower arrived and we had a little over 1/2 inch in the gauge. About 7 PM, we had some heavy thunderstorms roll through and they poured down enough rain that the water was running across the driveway in several places. It was more than the guttering and plastic pipes could handle. The rain gauge showed nearly 2-1/2 inches, so we had received another 2 inches of rain in a little less than hour. The ground soaked most of it up as it had been dry for over a week. There was no water in the gully and the creek water level never changed. The rain was all over before nightfall.
