One of my favorite things is setting on the porch watching a storm roll in.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....

Had the opportunity to sit in a hottub on a balcony in Ixtapa Mexico drinking cocolocos watching a hurricane roll in off Pacific.

LOL. Good one Mike.

2am, and weather radar shows that big line of storms moving southeast out over the Gulf. Holy kshizzle!, is the first weekend in May which means about 40 million migrating songbirds moving north across the gulf. My WAG is that at least a million or two are probāly losing the weather sweepstakes even as I write  Around my neighborhood itās gonna be lousy with migrant songbirds, same as it was yesterday morning after rain overnight. But this morning? I HAVE to get down to the Coast. When a kazillion desperate and exhausted songbirds drop down on the first land they encounter itās called a āfalloutā. Always hard to predict the magnitude but they can be spectacular. Heading out in a bit, developing systems between here and there so it might take a while.

Raining like a futhermucker now. Old dog is out here with me, she used to hide when these happened, probāly not as scary when ya canāt hear em. Am as happy for you as a jealous man can be. Lordy itās one of my top 3 about what I miss back home. THUNDERSTORMS Couldnāt work, tv probably out, head out to the porch with a quilt and my dog, cuddle up and watch Mom nature spit a bit of temper. Sometimes face would get misted or depending on direction and strength of said wind might force you to relocate My god but thatās living Enjoy Birdy and donāt get caught in a gully washer I grew up in the desert where rain was a really special thing, especially a good storm. That was a long time ago now. My kids when they were little thought it was funny that their dad once in a while liked to sleep outside in the rain in his swag, in the backyard, in the middle of a big city.

Pretty morn! We had it first.š. Lots of wheat was windrowed and curing for baling just west of here. Likely would have made 5-6 round bales per acre according to a friend who does baling for the public. Donāt do any good to turn it with more rain in the forecast. Played hell with the crappie spawn at the lake I fish. Water level up and down from one week to the next. Water temp all over the place. Old Artemus Nash told me years ago, after a big general rain like this, ā We have at times got rain in this country that we didnāt need. But, we never got any we didnāt use.ā
Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

It rained 5ā in 20 minutes, flooded roads and a few houses in Tomball. March 1st 1997, we got 10" in 24 hours. Washed away 2/3rd of our downtown. Hate to think about 5" in 20 minutes...
