Frikkin’ Drought!!!
In case you were unaware, the Mid-Atlantic is suffering (insert scary music) a drought. Though it has rained occasionally in the past 4 days, it was never for more than 45 minutes (AKA not enough). Last night it seemed we might be freed from the drought by some storms in the area. I fell asleep around 11:30pm, and was woken up at about 12:45 by some thunder and lightening. Since I was too hyped up to sleep, I stayed up to watch the show. The wind got to be pretty strong and occasionally the lightening was bright enough to hurt my eyes. BUT NO RAIN! Finally, at around 1:15am, it started pouring. Now, you’re probably thinking, “Well, that solves his problems right?” NOPE! It began pouring at 1:15am, and stopped at 1:18am. The wind and thunder grew more distant, and I fell asleep. Our next best chance of rain is this upcoming Monday (though there’s a thirty percent chance this afternoon). Until then, things look pretty grim. Wish us well! (And if it rains, you can be sure I’ll post!)
