A friend lives South of Las Vegas. She is in and out of her car as a home nurse. This is from yesterday.

Yowser! I'll bet she is busy in this heat wave. If I lived in that area it would be underground.

I'm thinking the heavy rain will stay southeast of us, this round.

Boats ready.
 
Ive got cousins in Phoenix. They reported 117 yesterday.

We may break a record here today. Thank goodness we get the cooling effect of nearby Puget Sound. Ironically, Ft. Worth set a record low this morning of 62::F. We were 64F this AM.

Family in Wichita Falls, Tx North of Ft. Worth say the city is having to draw up Phase 4 drought regs because they have never been past Phase 3 before. They are now.
 
This is the sixteen thousand acre lake south of the town I was raised in.

Word around here is call me if it stops raining. I am running the sump pump every 6-8 hours.
So far not a drop here, that will change. They say it might stop by the end of the week.
 
That's a shallow lake. Guess it doesn't look good for boating season there.
 
it's been raining like mad here, too. We've gotten a couple inches the past 24 hours, supposed to be pop-up storms and training storms all week long, right thru the weekend!

Lots of it is a lot deeper. With a dam and spillway. That aren't of much use now.
 
There were 2 different tornado watches here between 2:30 and 4:15 pm today in our county. One cell had a rotation starting to form so it was a close call just south of us. Tense moments for a bit here. Tropical downpours too. Doppler radar is the best thing since sliced bread.

Lawn looks great on the plus side. Wood seasoning is just not happening that rapidly.
