I could use that 9 inches of rain where I live. Maybe not all at once though.
Global warming.
I’m 80 miles S/SE of St Louis and not a drop of rain with sunny skies since noon.
Caused by a slow moving train wrect of a cooler air mass from the north and a warmer air mass from the south.
But it will be blamed on a catch-all propaganda term that the useful idiots think they understand.
I’m assuming this missed you? *Fingers Crossed*

We are supposed to get rain late Wednesday or Thursday and into the weekend. Cape Girardeau if I guess your location correctly. I’m not too far from there.
How high’s the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin’
How high’s the water, papa?
She said it’s five feet high and risin’
Well the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can’t come back till the water goes down,
Five feet high and risin’
Well, it’s five feet high and risin’

Had 3” in 3 hours here a couple of days ago...
Oops! Never mind. Talk about a localized storm! Yikes!
We’re dry more often than wet. Severe Drought (and I mean UGLY as a Cinderella Step Sister!) in 2012. I’ll never forget it. I had just been promoted to Manager at Jung’s. Thanks, God; testing me by Drought! (At least it wasn’t Locusts, LOL!)
We planted 400 trees that spring here at the farm to make some of our land future-deer friendly. Only half of them survived, and only because we hauled 800 gallons of water to them on the 4th of July in 102 degree heat.
Our most rainy year in recent memory was 2017 and there was a lot of flooding in the lower parts of our County where the Pecatonica River runs, but NOTHING like this storm.
be sure to sue all the real estate developers for grading flat, all the geographical natural run-offs that aeen’t there no more!!
Chance everyday here but 80/70% Thurs and Thurs night. Can’t trust an Ozarks weather forecast for more than 48 hours.
Don’t like the weather? Wait a minute.
2012 was one of two Midwest heat wave years. We lived off grid for both and I tore down a two story house on that second summer. Worked from 6am to 1pm. Highs were 110 or so. Lots of water and the wife and I ate cherry maters and seasoned Italian bread from walmart for lunch everyday. Had no appetite for anything else. Tiny generator ran the smallest window AC unit in our tiny camper from 8pm on so we could sleep.
That’s bad.
Just wait till the Bagnell dam breaks.
A drop in the bucket.
In 1979, 43 years ago yesterday, Alvin, TX, south of Houston, had 43 inches of rain in a 24-hour period, the most ever in the U.S.
Tropical Storm Claudette passed by and stopped right on top of the city and stayed. And stayed. And stayed.
Still a record to this day.
We do it bigger in Texas.
