    Default Southwestern Indiana has gone over a month without rain

    better than half of August and all of September with only the scantest few drops. Too weird for this part of the MidWest.

    Seems like most of September was the same around here.

    I remember Rick saying that it was a very wet Spring. Was that statewide, or just kind of localized? That's kind of a recipe for wild fires - real wet, promoting growth and then real dry, killing off the undergrowth, creating tinder.

    It was a very wet spring. Now we are under a fire watch because it is so dry. Fifty counties are under a fire watch in Indiana.

    Would you like some of mine? there's about an inch of standing water outside. The ground won't soak up anymore.

    That's one advantage of sandy soil. Over the last couple of days I thought we only got a couple of inches of rain. The weather guys and gals let me know this morning that 1) I was wrong, and 2) that I sleep pretty soundly. Seems like we got close to 12 inches. No standing water in my area - there are a few parts of the city that flood if it gets cloudy though.

    The whole area here is clay loam. Some places just heavy clay. Just been out to feed the girls and let them out and that inch of water is still there. I fear I have the same affliction as you, Crash. I didn't hear the rain bucketing down last night
