The Rain...THE RAIN! It Won't Stop!
We should be enjoying 100+ dry heat that browns the grass and cracks the dirt but instead it has rained for a million days now and there is no end in sight.
Every lake around here is void of boats. Why you say? Becuz the boat slips are under water and the roads to the boat slips are under water and the service roads off the highways are under water and the whole fk'n world is under water! This low pressure system just keeps turning onto itself. Its actually pretty bad.

Mike,
I feel bad for all of you with the rains and flooding. Wish there was some way to relieve you of some of the water. We're having the driest fire season in a century. Doesn't seem fair does it?

On the bright side, now you'll be able to grow stuff instead of cactus, rocks, and sand.

driving 45 miles west to work and get rained out. then I drive back home and then 45 miles east to another job and rained out again. I'm 3-4 weeks behind and have 5-6 pools waiting. people are getting impatient. it's really hurting me. yes, I check the radar before leaving, but it seems the storms pop up in minutes. I start working, it starts raining. roll up my tools it quits. take them out again and it starts raining again. 4 times yesterday.

Weathers weird. Looks like you got the MidAtlantic weather pattern for the past 2 months. I rained yesterday for about an hour, but beyond that the rainfall for the spring and summer has been only an inch or two. Nineties and sunny again this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Taken while on the roof (56 floors) of my buillding in downtown Dallas yesterday. The Trinity river basin is usually a creek that runs at the treeline in between the levees. Note the road that goes down into the water. It's looked like this for weeks.

Nothing to see here. No sort of climate change indicators. Part of a natural cycle I tell you. Move along. Don't mind that broken-off-chunk-of-glacier the size of Rhode Island that's bobbing around in the ocean. Not important.

Yep, looks like 1990 in this area. I know it's just a natural cycle, but we're keeping an eye on Lake Texoma as we'll get the runoff early next week. If it stands like it is now, well miss flood stage here by about 1/2 foot on Monday. I thought losing my pecan tree was bad last week, but we're so waterlogged right now that we're losing quite a few big oaks now that are uprooting. Good for the plants, but a bit worried about the bugs & disease that will be in the fields if it keeps up much longer.

Same ordeal in Sweden. Road closed, water in basements and generally really dull, boring summer so far. Well, I guess that is the payback for one of the warmest winters in a century.
Gives me plenty of time painting inside my new 'mansion' though. Still can not decide whether to paint or put ceramic tile on the garage floor.

I hope the rain stops soon in your area along with the plains.
We could use some rain in NC before the landscape turns into a desert. Are you having any problems with refineries and chemical plants flooding out? Must be GWB's fault

Today and for the foreseeable future it's going to be warm/hot and dry here. With cool nights. I'm just glad I was born in the Pacific Northwest instead of having to discover it when my life was already half over.
