I can hear thunder but looking at the radar we're in a little band that is clear - what else is new.

I pulled up The Weather Channel site andwatched the last 6 hour radar and the future 6 hour radar. Real funny to watch all that green, yellow and red all around Evansville for 12 hours and not a bit of it hitting here.. |

Man, do I feel blessed, I finally got a little rain out of this front, approx 1/4" around 5pm. My food plots could use alot more but at least this will help.

Rain gauge wasn't out but heard the farmer down the road said he got about 1" on Saturday night. Other places not far from me got around 3 tenths; must have lucked out.

Nothing up here and nothing in the forcast. I have had 1 1/4 inch since I planterd my soybeans and corn. Needless to say they are about burnt up. If something doesn't come along soon it looks like a total loss.

EVERYTHING that even looked like it was coming Newburghs way ended up going south or north of us. One radar screen showed us surrounded by storms. I thought surely we'd get some of that - nope. It disapated .. |

Guys showed up yesterday evening to start excavating for my addition ..... I had a 20x25' area where I removed a deck. Under there was moist all the way down.
Outside that area the ground was dry and rock hard. Hard enough they are having to bring in a bigger piece of equipment today because the mini excavator they had would not break through and dig.
They were going down roughly 48" .... 6" down it was wet from our recent rains. Past that there wasnt a drop of moisture. The ground was like concrete.

Woody, that's exactly what happens here. We get out hopes up and they get dashed.
The local well driller is so busy he can't even come out and give me a quote on drilling a well.

Sassafras tree leaves are drying up, River Birch are loosing their leaves, and many of the weeds that grew tall are drooping over from lack of rain. I watered the orchard last week, and that is green. The WSG that I planted in May still haven't germinated......

That brings up a good point. The water on the planet is a fixed number. 66% of the human body is water. If there are more humans now on the planet, then there is less water in the lakes, rivers, streams and oceans because more water is tied up in humans walking around on land.
Thoughts?
