We have been needing some rain, and this system did bring a nice shower. While we are not getting the extreme heat like in the Pacific Northwest, our temps have been in the low 90’s with stifling humidity. The weather forecasters say the “Muggy Meter” is pegged today.
Yesterday and last night Indiana suffered through some damaging severe thunderstorms. We were fortunate in that we suffered no damage, yet there was a very large tree down the block that blew over, fortunately missing any structure.
Our wheelbarrow was empty yesterday before the storms came through. This is what I found at 8 AM this morning.
Baseball size hail was reported (and photographed) near Indianapolis, and as of this morning there were still thousands of customers without power, and a few tornados reported as well. The good thing is that rain was needed. We officially recorded 3 inches, while some Southern Indiana counties recorded 7 + inches.
The first Saturday in December saw a lot of rain, including a spurt of sunshine during the rain. This lead to Earth sharing one of its most beautiful displays: The Rainbow
And when conditions are right you are blessed with a double rainbow.
There are few things in Nature that bring as much awe as a rainbow. Enjoy
