It's a great hobby but a lousy job

No one ever calls to say thanks for the nice day, but as soon as it turns cloudy it is all my fault

Still I would want to do anything else

The storm moved inland. All I got was a teeny bit of rain. Nothing major. I'm so happy. But so sorry for Starlifterfan. Becuase he got the worst of it.
Hopefully I'll get a small amount of rain. I'm not out of the woods yet.

I was expecting to wake up today under a torrential downpour, and heavy wind. But instead it was partly cloudy. It looks like overnight there's some dry air that crept behind the storm, and deleted a huge chunk of it. The clouds and rain try to cover up the chunk but they can't. Becuase of dry air. I GOT SPARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I feel so sorry for the people who got too much rain.
