Default Anyone desperate for rainfall?

I know some areas in the U.S are going through really dry periods. You have probably heard the awful summer we have had in the UK over the past month, well, yesterday and last night it became much worse. Some areas were hit with 130mm of rain in a matter of hours yesterday (that's over 5inches).

Whole towns and villages are under up to three feet of water in some areas, the beautiful town of Stratford is now underwater, which will hit the whole of the Midlands economy.

The worst part is that more heavy rain is due to fall today.

Many thousands had to be evacuated from their homes already this month and they say that another 3,000 had to be evacuated and rescued from their homes yesterday.

If you need rainfall, spare a thought for these people.

We had rain for 32 straight days in Tulsa, then had a 1 day drought before rain came again. Went on vacation to San Antonio and rained every day down here too.
