Raining

A quote for the read:

"You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it."
— Denzel Washington

Here in Illinois, and many other states, we either get a lot of rain really quick or no rain at all for a very long time. Just yesterday after about two weeks of getting no rain, we finally got a storm… but it lasted only 20 minutes. Within that 20 minutes we got about ¾ of an inch of rain.

That may not seem like a lot, but you go to a state like Kansas where ¾ inches of rain seems like 6 inches. Occasionally we will a storm that’ll last a day, but not very often. The rains of Illinois are SBD (short but deadly.) : )

This is the 20-minute storm we had yesterday that dumped a lot of rain on us.


Aftermath

Water flowing down the sides of the road from the rain after the sky cleared up.

We got a brief downpour yesterday, too. It never seems to be enough since things are baked and brown here, too. I was in a swimming pool when the storm hit. I will make that into a post tomorrow!

Thanks for the tip! I just changed the tags on this post, hopefully that will help a little. I just couldn't think of good tags for this kind of post originally, although now it seems so obvious. :)

We all pray for rain, but never forget to say thank you.
