Based on the current

Based on the current forecast, our mini-schnauzer won't be going out until after 11 AM. She doesn't like rain. It's been fun over the past week trying to dart out when there are breaks in the rain. It would be easier if I didn't have to take so long putting on weather gear.

My granddaughter is worried

My granddaughter is worried that all the worms are going to drown. She said, papaw, if all the worms die then all the soil will disappear which will cause all the plants to die. Then the animals will die because they won't have any food to eat.
I think we may have a future conservationist in the family.

WVLT claims we already have well over 8" of rain. Link

I've had 3.32" of rain since midnight last night and 7.85" since midnight last Sunday. I can only imagine how much I will get if it rains all day and night.
