Well we woke up some rain...great rain...BUT it also brought thunder/lightening/high winds..So now I have no power at home...I am sitting at walmart in McD's! Today was my day to can my peaches..sigh...and to SEW...my one day this week that I was free enough to do things at home...figures....

It stopped raining, but looks like more is coming...we sure do need it...of course it will still be over 100 every day for the next 15 days they say...what a rough summer....and no produce to show for all my hard work...so winter will be harsh and long as well!

Hope all my friends in TX, KS and OK are enjoying the cool weather and rain today!

Yea we got a little rain also. It is nice to be able to open up the house. Hope it lasts.

Live between Rockwall and Greenville in Texas and no rain here they maybe this weekend glad you got rain and sorry about no power

We were just on the very edge of that storm you got. I sure could do with some more of the wet stuff. I LOVE it when it rains. =)

It's raining here right now. Yippee!!

radar shows most of OK should be getting WET today...

we finally got our power back,,but my wireless router took a hit...so only "I" can get on the internet..ehhehehe

Yay!

DH is happy in OKC with the rain and new found cool. I'm in the Dallas area and it's sunny and hot, hot, hot, again.

Pipe some of that rain and cool air down Dallas way. We are smoothering down here.

No rain here in the Houston area for many days and none forcasted. We have had record temps and are on water restrictions. I have lived here all my life and never remembering it be this hot. We are all praying for rain.

My cousin lives just outside Corn, OK. Is that close to you? I sympathize w your weather and power outages. Seems she freq experiences power outages. I'd be so afraid of losing everything in the freezer. It must be rough on the wildlife , too.

DH just sent me a picture of the temp in OKC, it's a cool 72. It is getting very windy and dark here and the temp has probably dropped 15 degrees in the last 20 minutes or so.

glad you guys have gotten some rain..... I agree you could have done without the high winds, thunder,an no power...

Heard that Boyd, TX got some of the rain...how about the rest of you...

I got my peaches canned, and just in time...another storm is on its way...bring it...I went a head and prepped dinner to be done on the grill just in case..I am done for the day.!

I also live in OK and was more than excited about the rain and the first day of school for my 9th grade daughter (woo, hoo)! We are rural and have had power off/on for the last 3 days, but I will gladly take it with a little rain. Still praying for those of you not getting any rain.

I live in the Texas panhandle and we got rain Tuesday and thursday morning, I sure have enjoyed the cooler weather.

We didn't break 80 today in LR and have been getting rain for the last couple of days! It's WONDERFUL!!!! There is the promise of fall in the air! Praying though that the rain heads to OK and TX!!!

We got some good rain in the Texas Panhandle too!

My sister said they got 3.5 inches in Tulsa. I know she needed it. Hope the heat break for a little while. I am praying for you all in OK.

Nope! No rain here!

I have really enjoyed the rain, we have had rain the past few nights actually has some hail last night. It woke us up. My hubby will have to mow our "grass" now. It will be his third time to mow this spring/summer. Im sure he has enjoyed not having to mow out in the heat.

The cool temp today has been wonderful. I live in SE OKC/Moore.

Not a drop down here :cry: :cry: All around us to the north and east, just missed us,BUT we got the cooler temps too.So nice to be able to open the doors and windows
We didn't have to turn on the air until 2 this afternnon..
The weather patterns finally seem to be changing ,allowing cooler temps and rains to come in, now all they need to do is go a little bit to the south so we can have some too.

We had a little rain early this morning and didn't reach 100 today! Looks like for the next week we will be under 100 and a good chance of rain.

hey...I know Kingfisher...I do a holiday bazaar down there in Dec...

Sorry, no cool weather here in central tx. Still 102 today and NO rain since early May and that was only 0.09 inches. Yikes.

I thank God you are getting rain. Some friends and I started a prayer chain asking for rain for the 3 states. He sent the rain.
Amen! but we won't stop praying.

Hi Jacquie
This is so odd, I was just thinking of you yesterday and wondering if your part of the country was getting the wonderful rain that we were getting here in Fort Smith. Glad to hear that you did.
We have had over 30 days of temperatures from 100 to 115. Such a relief. Got up this morning to 69 degrees. What could be better. Makes one a little more lively. Have a great day.

No rain here in Quitman Texas, but it only reached 100, that was a bonus. I watched the radar yesterday and it was as though Moses was parting the rain clouds (instead of the sea)as they approached east Texas.

It's going to rain, it's giong to rain, it's going to rain...

Thanks for thinking of me Julia...I have friend in Morrilton and he sent me the rain..hehee...at least he likes to think he did...

Let me know if there is ever a quilting retreat in Ft Smith..I have always wanted to go there!

I'm so glad you had some rain. The Southwest is in my prayers.

Got rain here yesterday too. What a blessing; just about 1/2 inch at the house, but it was great. DH said it rained a little when he got up this morning. Kids all live in East Texas and I tried to send it their way, but guess it didn't make it. Suppose to rain again this afternoon. We will see. Thank you Lord for the rain. Please send more.

woke up to lots of thunder..but alas.. NO rain...they are still calling for severe storms again this afternoon/evening..hope we SOME rain out of it....

Sure Thankful it rained in Oklahoma. We farm near Enid and sure need the rain. Ponds are drying up.
I live in the DFW area, no rain, just hot, hot, hot.

congrats -- it's not cool here, but we have some clouds that from time to time conceal the sun for a little while -- would love to have some rain too

Sorry, don't know of any retreats here, but Grandma's Log cabin, south of Greenwood, may have one. I will inquire and let you know later.

We've had 3" of rain in the Tulsa area. Some high winds but I'm loving this rain. Rained this morning but sun is coming out. But it's so cool! In the high 80's. Never thought I would say that's cool. Electricity better come back on by next week-end in Enid! So looking forward to the retreat.

isn't it nice to say that 80 is cool..hehehe
definitely a treat to see the 70-80's this week!

Only my block was without power the other day..4 hours of NO power...and then found out my wireless router was hit..glad it was not the computer...

Looking forward to seeing you at the retreat next weekend!

So glad u got rain...it got close...we could smell it but
no dice. We were in Dallas, Plano and Mckinney yesterday.

Corn is just down the road from Clinton!! I drive past the turnoff to Corn on my way to work in Cordell!! Is your cousin a quilter?

And we soooooooo enjoyed the rainy, cool day yesterday... It was a welcome respite... hot again today, but it gave us hope that eventually someday it will rain again and be cooler again...

Thank you, oh thank you, We got about 1/2 inch yesterday morning and the temp was 74 at 2:30 in the afternoon. We will join you as you pray for rain for Texas.
