I'm about to dry up and blow away down here. Mobile is usually in the top three as the wettest cities in the US. It's been parched since Katrina. Albeit, I got rain Sunday and Monday for the first time since I can remember when.

Was up in Ft Walton Beach for about 10 days. Couldn't believe when everyone said how dry it had been. It even *felt* less humid than Orlando! To me, it felt like late fall weather for a few days.

Used to be you could almost set your clock by the summer afternoon showers downtown. I lived in the mighty metropolis of Semmes, so the rainfall pattern was entirely different at home.

I live in Navarre about 8 miles west of FWB and it's the driest I've seen since I moved here in '97. My back yard sits on a small lake where locals canoe, paddle boat and bass fish in. You can just about walk to the center of the lake now.

Over here in Texas, I have never seen it so dry in all the years I have lived here. 107 forcasted today and dry. We are down in Rainfall by a huge margin, and HOT HOT HOT.

From what I saw on Intellicast yesterday, big storms were popping up all along the coast. Eventually they made it up here. Only after we received about 2 inches did I realize I left the sprinklers on!

Anyway, Montgomery to Georgia border is about 10 inches below normal rainfall.

I live in Navarre. The hot, dry weather is the topic of discussion every day here. My sprinkler well is dry, and my yard is getting scorched. The last time I checked, we were about 20 inches below normal rainfall for the year. I keep praying for a couple tropical storms or a cat 1 hurricane.

It's not much better up around Huntsville-Decatur. We haven't had squat for rain for the past two months.
