We would almost love a hurricane to get some relief from the drought, we would definately celebrate a strong tropical storm

whoo-ee! The weather guy is saying that my area got almost 2 inches of rain from that storm--and it dropped our temps 30 degrees. (and thoughts and prayers for people who are suffering adverse effects from the hurricanes)

Dot--we had another gulleywasher and flash flood courtesy of the hurricane leftovers again today. Until yesterday afternoon we hadn't even received 1/3 of our normal summer rains. I even had a mini-flood in my house today--but hey--the aquifer is being recharged and my rugs will eventually dry out. Hallelujah! (and my thoughts and prayers for the people in other parts of the country who are losing their homes to flooding....)

Weather extremes all over the U.S. this year. Makes me think Al Gore smarter than the ostrich types prefer to think he is.
Perhaps. You know, when Katrina hit, a few people blamed global warming for that, which I do not buy at all. One bad event, no matter how horrific or unusual, does not a trend make. But this year, it has been one thing after another, from drought, record high temps, wildfires, hurricanes, and just plain massive rainfall.

Yep, we're getting hurricane-remnant rain here in the St. Looey metro area and have for the last two days. Forecast is for it to continue through Sunday.
We can use the rain as unusually hot and dry as August was. Not typical for us to have so many 100-degree days in a row even in the dog days of that month without a thunderstorm here and there to cool us off.

The Unadilla River is the one affecting our area (about 35 miles north of Binghamton) ; but the kids have enjoyed having two days off from school. Most main roads have opened up , but the bridge near my house is closed until further notice. It has impacted locals and ought to make school bus routes crazy for a while. Lots of fun . I do have to give kudos to the local fire departments and personel ; They were on top of things and much help to people in trouble spots , like : Norwich and Sherburne. It's through events like this , that communities come together.

As with most things, in the case of rain moderation is the key... but nature is not always a moderate...

Templar-- in the southwest we're starting to get some of the benefits from some of the hurricanes that break up over Mexico. The moisture gets pulled north and is turned into heavy summer rains for us. So as awful as the hurricanes are for some--for others they are a blessing. BTW--at this very moment we have thunder that is signalling the start of a storm created out of leftover hurricane moiture.....

What a summer for the Northeast. (And much of the country.) We lived in Lewisburg, PA for some years in the sixties and still have friends there. It is right on the Susquehanna, north of Harrisburg.
