    Rain soon...

    Here in the desert we have a few indicators that rain is on the way.

    Colorado River Toads I had on in the yard last night.

    Interesting
    The birds sing differently, the leaves point down, and frogs start croaking. Usually the smell is the final indicator but this usually is only 5-10 minutes before the rain arrives.
    July 3 we got 6in of rain in 8 hours add mountain terrain and a saturated ground (been raining just about everyday for almost 2 months) we lost a lot of our roads and bridges in town. My road is tore all up as it follows a brook for several miles.
    Hope you get some rain out there... Although it will probably just turn to steam....
