    We have had 1 1/2 inches of rain today and they say more rain after midnight with wind and a slight risk of tornedos.

    I sure wish someone would hurry up and figure out a pipeline for water! Your feet are webbed... and ours over here in Texas dry and brittle beyond belief.

    We got heavy rains in southern Ontario again too. And high winds. I'll need those webbed feet, or at least a pair of boots that don't leak!

    We had another 1/2 inch of rain overnight so that's a total of 2 inches an about 32 hours. We also had at least 3 tornados in the state. @ in the north west a one in the southeast part. None close to me. But the southern part of the state had some straight line wind damage too. One town had a wind gust clocked at 110 mph.

    On second thought, do you have a spare ark? Tornados are rare around here. Do you need to have a storm shelter?

    O.K. Captain Ohio has been reclassified a lake. You have had so much water I'm beginning to worry about flooding. Are you in danger of a flooding river? Gee, I hope not.

    Not flooding, my house sets up on a hill. But I do have a field drainage ditch that runs across my driveway. I have 2 5 ft tiles and they have been known to flood out. So far today we have only had 1/10th of an inch of rain. It's tonight that they say we may possibly get the heavy rain.

    Capt Kirk, I think we have the same forecast. I'm tired of it, too! Rain, more rain, flash flood watch, Rain, more rain, COLD, rain, more rain, you get the picture. it's a good thing I have a greenhouse, otherwise I think I would go crazy. Hopefully with all the rain it doesn't flood around the greenhouse again. With the 10" of snow and 2" of rain in the same weekend in march, we had water running around all the greenhouses. It was awful.

    YEAH!!!! Kevin (Husband) says the sun is supposed to start shining next Friday. Oh man... thats a whole week away.

    Carolyn, I am down at Marysville, about 35 miles northwest of Columbus. We have already had 2 inches of rain this week, and now they say from 2 to 5 inches more, possible this weekend!

    Sun? What is this sun you speak of? Its supposed to rain here for the next week, although tomorrow is supposedly just mostly cloudy with only a 20% chance of rain.

    Well, we lucked out yesterday and lastnight. Most of the rain and storms stayed south of us, down along the Ohio River. We only got a 1/2 inch of rain total. But the Robins are happy! I watched one bird get 3 worms from the same spot and she didn't even have to move. The yard is so water logged, the night crawlers are laying on top of the ground.

    We've had the same weather as you Capt, although we did have heavy rains last night. I am so tired of these cold, wet, windy days! It feels like November again. What happened to spring??
