We did see some rain out the storms, but most of it was blowing sideways. Regardless, some of us did get some high rainfall totals.

We are starting to really need the rain, too. The drought has expanded a bit and we are seeing more “Abnormally Dry” areas and even some “Severe” areas in the panhandle.
