Hot here too, and heavy smoke.
My daughter saw a touch of blue sky this morning for only a moment. I asked if she had taken a picture so that we could all remember what it looks like.
A storm is blowing in, which hopefully give some relief from smoke, dryness and heat and hopefully give no additional problems. In our area, we have had less than 2" of rain since the snow melted. Somehow the water table is somewhat high but the surface of the land is dry as could be.
They say that some of these storms could be severe. The rumbling is certainly constant, but only a tiny sprinkle so far. We will see what happens over the next while I guess.
