Rain got into town around five last night. At this time 3:50 AM it is still raining. Sure hope it stays in town for a few days.
 
Finally got some rain at our place in Dallas. Had a Tstorm last night. High winds, very hard rain, some small hail.

Rained very hard for about 30 min. Best I can tell we got about 2 inches of much needed rain. Actually had MUD this morning.

Some of the cracks in the ground were big enough to put a baseball in. This should close them up some.
 
It rained here in NE Texas at the farm 3 times yesterday.

Started early yesterday morning about 7:15am through about 9:15am.

A brief 20 minute shower yesterday afternoon.

Last night the thunderstorms moved in a 9:15pm and continued until after midnight.

Checked the rain gauge this morning and had about 1.5 inches.

Took a short walk this morning to check for wind damage.

A lot of small limbs were down, but nothing major.

Rain cap blown off center on "1011" our 53 Model 70, but still there.

Next chance of rain predicted for Thursday.
 
We received a total of 1.1 inches over the weekend. I'm 80 miles SSE of Billy. It's not much but every little bit helps. It will lessen the fire danger for a few days, so it is very welcome. We are still about 20-25 inches behind for the year.
 
James,
I see you use the same type exhaust rain cap we used over fifty years ago. They never wear out. lol.

Glad to hear you all are getting some water. Hope that helps keep the cow and horse people going and slows down the flow of cows to the kill floors.
 
If you flatten the open end of the can until it will just slide over the pipe it will stay put in most storms.
