I love it and we need more of it. One May about 11 years ago we got 27 inches. It helped filling up the local lakes. We’d had several years of droughts the previous decade and the lakes were very low back then. It also caused all sorts of mushrooms to pop up in our yards, some I’d never seen here in my city before. That was kind of fun digging them up.

@AngelUnforgiven I saw stinkhorns, had only seen them in rural areas where I lived before. And some of those different kinds of mushrooms were persistent for most of the summer till August when it was more dry and very hot.

@AngelUnforgiven I had a rain gauge and went out and emptied it every morning and wrote the amount on my calendar. I live about 20 miles south of Oklahoma City and they reported getting 17 inches that month. We usually got a lot less rain than they did for several years, and we also typically got a lot less than the west side of my city. But not that year. The police were using swamp boats to rescue people who drove on roads and got their vehicles swept into flood waters that month.
