Woke up early this morning thanks to a cat who has no concept of time. I heard thunder, wandered out to the kitchen & discovered that it's raining. I even went outside to be out in it to make sure it was real. :)

PS - here's picture of the radar right now.

Hope you get lots of it.

sueisallaboutquilts 08-13-2011 04:05 AM

That's great news!!! I'm happy for you.
About the cat- why do they need a sense of time?? They have no schedules hahahaha :)

Happy for your rain but have to ask if your cat might be related to mine LOL

Teddi woke me just after 4 this morning!

laurlync 08-13-2011 04:12 AM

That is GREAT!! Now send some our way...PLEASE!!!

frauhahn 08-13-2011 04:14 AM

I pray that it will continue and spread over your whole region. I've been so worried about the conditions there-it's been such a dire situation.

MJONW 08-13-2011 04:27 AM

MJONW 08-13-2011 04:28 AM

grannypat7925 08-13-2011 06:40 AM

Wonderful! So happy for you!

I am in Plano to, what a surprise to find 2 dogs running into the house with muddy paws this morning. We didn't hear the rain so had no idea. Couldn't be mad though was more excited my yard is wet!

donnaree59 08-13-2011 08:10 AM

Hope you get lots! Plus, hope it's a slow enough rain that it will have time to seep in and not just run off. We are also needing rain. It's been heat indexes here of over 100 for probably the last 30 days. Our trees are dropping their leaves, pecans are dropping off, figs dropping off.. Just too hot to survive. I've never seen it like this before.

quiltykitty 08-13-2011 08:46 AM

It's seeping in, but we will need lots of rain to break this drought. I have cracks in my yard that are 8 inches wide. I'm north of Plano, up in Sherman. It was wonderful to wake up to rain.Finally

Blue's quilting mama 08-13-2011 08:49 AM

Hope it continues all day, and soaks the thirsty ground!

redkimba 08-13-2011 01:31 PM

So far it's been really damp all day. Hopefully we get a bit more rain before going back to the 100 degree days.

Ruby the Quilter 08-13-2011 02:00 PM

We got a nice shower in El Paso about noon and looks like a storm is coming in -

owlvamp 08-13-2011 02:02 PM

Wonderful!You all needed it.

thepolyparrot 08-13-2011 03:38 PM

Rain, blessed rain! We were so parched here and all the green things are so happy. 80º with clouds and breezes - what a nice break! :)

It was worth not breaking the record - yesterday, we tied the record for number of 100º days in a row and today would have broken it.

Tomorrow, we are supposed to head back into the 100's so I'm really loving this "cool" while we have it!

plainpat 08-13-2011 03:42 PM

We heard about your rain on the morn news. That's great....know you needed rain & maybe it'll cool down too.

Elisabeth J 08-14-2011 04:35 AM

Nothing here either. Boo Hoo!!!

liminanc 08-14-2011 04:36 AM

So happy for you, hope it spreads to all the areas that need it and it continues for a few days.

smagruder 08-14-2011 04:49 AM

Pryers are answered. Pray for lots more and that it covers more of the state. My sister is south of Dallas and I don't think they have gotten rain in a very long time.

heather1949 08-14-2011 04:54 AM

Is balstrop getting rain I have a friend there, so happy you are getting it as well.

dinlauren 08-14-2011 05:05 AM

Yesssssssssssss, wasn't it amazing. I thought it was just a teasing thunder but then someone online told me it was raining and I just had to go look.lol

Zephyr 08-14-2011 05:14 AM

Hope some of it get through to lower Alabama.

auntmarie 08-14-2011 05:18 AM

What a Blessing

suzm 08-14-2011 07:26 AM

Our part of Texas hasn't been blessed with rain yet. Maybe some day....

sharoney 08-14-2011 07:27 AM

That's awesome! When you're done with it, send it down here!

Grandma Peg 08-14-2011 07:47 AM

So glad to hear that. That's probably what woke up your cat, as it was not use to that sound.
