Record setting rains!

I had a little trouble getting home tonight....
 
A new stream had developed over Johnson Lane and the highway. I had to turn around, return to school, and take another route home. Even that new route wasn't pleasant but I made it!

It has been raining for the last week and a half. Today we had a record setting amount of rain. Three and six hundredth inches in one day for this prairie is unheard of. Add that amount to what has been soaking the earth and we are way over normal for this time of year. The average rainfall in Eastern Montana is 1.92 inches for the month of May and we are now at 8.45. That's 6.53 above the norm. There's more rain predicted before the month is over!
 
It's so green it's beginning to look like Seattle and tonight's weather forecast is not promising any sun!

  1. Sounds like the perfect excuse to stay in. Or start building an ark.

  2. I couldn't believe the pictures of the waterfalls over the rims in the gazette today. Beautiful waterfalls--that is until you remember that there are houses right underneath them!
