We are finally getting some much needed rain today. So far, we have got about 3/4 inch of slow rain and every drop has soaked into the dry ground. We could use 2 or 3 more inches, but I thank the Good Lord for every drop we get.

Between yesterday and today, me have had over 5 inches of rain. I don't know how much over 5 inches since my rain gauge only measures up to 5 inches;). I know I am thankful and I hope everyone got the rain they needed.

We got a good amount of rain last night but fared much better than our western kentucky folks with several tornadoes hitting yesterday around Paducah.
