Summer rain?

It has been hot here. Record temperatures, virtually no spring this year except for the pollen and blistering sun. We have wildfires here, quite a lot. I can't remember the exact statistic, but we are in the top 7 or something with states with wildfires. We experience very humid, very dry temps here and we go through a lot of periods with no rain, or very little (the sidewalks stay dry as it rains). We have had a few times that rain has been heavy, which is always a blessing from God!

We have had a tornado in April, which caused damage and a ton of heavy and fast rain. We had a windstorm Saturday, with really no rain (ok, maybe a few drops). And, we had a huge storm last night. When I say huge, I mean that we had quarter size hail, showers, sideways blowing rain, drifts of water and a second bout of hail that was dime sized. Our road (we live on a cul-de-sac) was completely under water, my back yard was drenched and my house once again flooded. Not a huge flood, but standing water in the dining room and the master closet and bathroom.

I cleaned that up, at 10:45 when it happened, then I called the housing office and left a message. They showed up as soon as they opened today, the carpet cleaner came shortly after and then the contractor right after that! Hopefully they will fix the issue tomorrow and no more heavy rain will come unless it trully does get fixed!

God Bless (and thank you God for the rain)!
