I’m 80 miles S/SE of St Louis and not a drop of rain with sunny skies since noon.
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.
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.
