Three inches of rain here this afternoon after a huge storm and it soaked straight into our parched crops and yard.
Heading home I was caught right in the middle of it.
The sky was charcoal black, lightning was illuminating the dry corn and dust was rolling around the fields ahead of the torrential rain. Very eery.
I took refuge in our local library until it passed. Not a bad place to hide for half an hour before driving home in the lull before the next storm.
Branches are down all over the yard and the hundred year old pear tree was split in half.
Home never looked so good as I headed up the driveway.
Update.
The old pear tree in the light of day
The rain was such a relief yesterday! But poor pear tree. This summer was just too much for it.
