Saw this on the weather last night. We just got some rain but the weather man said we will likely stay D3. Its dry very dry out there.

Same. We got a LOT of desperately needed rain over the last week, 4.5 inches in just one day. But we’re still in the moderate drought category.

Hoping for some more tomorrow. It’s going to take quite a bit and some time to move out of the brown level.

We got that in some areas near by. The construction site Im on has 1'-2'(yes 12"-24") deep red clay right now. Stuck machinery everywhere. Sadly the forecast has zero rain for the next 10 days.

The rain is why there is so much stuckage. Its been so dry they have been running the water truck non stop to just try and keep the dust down
