It's rained so much here in Northern Indiana that the animals are starting to line up 2 by 2. Anybody else getting drowned like we are?

I believe it is about universal here in the states Tim. Here in Cincy we are all converting cubits to feet and gathering wood!! True fact, I live on top of a tall hill, my back yard slopes at about a 20deg or better angle. I had ducks in my yard last night!!!Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

Oklahoma has been in a drought, red flag fire alerts in most of the 77 counties, wheat is looking horrible, and the ground is as hard as concrete. Did finally get some rain in the last two days, but not near enough. Send some our way, please!Richard

I actually went out and bought boot covers to add to my rain gear this week. I've always been able to get by with just rain pants and my waterproof riding jacket, but there's just been too much rain lately!1980 XS850SG - Sold

Rain?
We're in the middle of a blizzard
1 mile vis and 1000 ft ceiling. 5cm today; 5-10 tonight; and another 2 tomorrow.
So on the low side, about 4 inches.
Um, it is the end of April right?

It has rained so much this season we watched the water come up to the door four times at the cabin. It only trickled in one time though. Very wet winter and spring, bet it won't rain all summer.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)

We're about ready to set a record, about 3" over the average for this month alone. Last two weeks have been crazy! Tornados, hail, pouring rain... we've had it all. I don't ever remember weather like this, it just keeps producing crazy intense storms day after day.'79 XS11 F

It's been very wet here as well. We got close to twice as much rain as is average last month and May has been rather wet as well. It needs to dry up soon if an extended decent season is going to happen.

Word has it the world is ending mid-Saturday-ish.
I'm hoping the rain will stop, and that CBS airs a Happy Days Telethon. Then baseball..Comment

My daughter just informed me that the world ends Saturday for all the good and decent folks, the rest of us have to live through all matters of earthly hell, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires...ect...until October, then we parish after all the suffering. She of course wished me lots of luck with all the plagues.
Teenagers, gotta love them huh.

My brother just bought a house in Livonia, MI. Huge back lawn. Problem is, he hasn't been able to USE half of it because it's underwater!
Weather in MI's been very strange, especially today. No rain this morning, rain from 8-1, then rain on a cloud-by-cloud basis for the rest of the day. There was one time when it was sunny for me, and you could see it downpouring less than a quarter-mile away! Not to mention everything's coming from the east (backwards, instead of the west like 99% of our weather)... very strange weather indeed.Currently XS-less.

More Rain
It has been raining off an on in northeastern Pa for almost a week now. Haven't mowed the grass in two. If this keeps going I think I'll just get some goats or cows to keep the grass down!
For those of you suffering through a drought, I wish there was a way to send you some of this water!
One of the predicted effects of global warming is more severe swings in weather patterns. Maybe some truth to that!1979 F
