This is the time of year that evening storms build and give us strong winds and rain with lots of thunder and lightning. Thursday was a case in point. The storms built to the northwest and traveled into Lubbock, along with an Haboob (wall of dust). I left the book group about 8:35 PM and the dust was blowing through. Later, there was rain. My inaccurate rain gauge collected about .25 inch of rain.
Friday, the storms built again in the evening, but a little earlier, yet it took a while for the rains to start. But they were heavy when they came. The rain gauge this morning indicate 1.25 inches. That is marvelous.
This afternoon, the storms have gathered again. Unfortunately, right now, we have clouds, thunder and some lightning, but no rain in the area. In a way that is good. The Moonlight Musicals http://www.lubbockmoonlightmusicals.org/ are trying to put on a play tonight. And, there is a Juneteenth Celebration at Mae Simmons Park http://unifiedjuneteenth.com/Events.html http://www.kcbd.com/story/18781519/lubbock-celebrates-juneteenth. If the rains hold off until after 11 PM, that would be nice.
I hope the rains come, though.
