We are not too far from Kingfisher, been there a few times when my grandkids were in Band competitions there. Does the name hollyhocks mean that you have them in your yard? I love them and plant them anywhere I go. it's an old fashioned flower. We got some good rain too.

I have family in OK and I know how welcome the rain is. Farmers Almanac says its going to be a cold wet winter, so you guys better buckle down. Sounds like its going to be nasty everywhere except from Montana down to Arizona

Yesterday Blanchard received 1 1/2 inches of glorious rain (and I didn't have to drag hose around the yard watering). It's raining (with thunder and lightening) right now!

Junction, Tx got .8" yesterday and Kerrville, TX I heard got even more. I was told it all moved towards the west. We were in northen Gillespie County (Fredericksburg) yesterday and felt about 3 drops on our skn and that was it, for the clouds all went around us. Drats! I live in Austin and have not seen rain here since.....since.........a, well I can't really recall.

It's raining, thunder and enough that I don't have a satellite signal. I hope it lasts, I was really having a hard time keeping up with the foundation.
