It’s been a dry August.

If you can call 12 1/2″ of rain during the month, dry… which the locals do. Dry enough that people are referring to a water shortage and locals are hoping for rain. Last year we got 10 1/2″ so I think we’re doing OK…

And like last year, 4 1/4″ of rain came in a couple hours one day (August 23.) Pretty dramatic.

And loud.
