RAIN!!

What a delightful day! The rain came pouring down as did the temperature!! I don't think we made it out of the 60's today! What a relief. However, the storm wasn't nice to some people. It is what they call a super cell storm and it looks like a tornado came ripping through. So many places still without power. As for us...we are just fine. No damage at our place. Just much needed rain. Tomorrow we dry back out and climb to 85 before heading back into the 90's.

I'm so glad it's cooled down a bit in here. It's been a weird, long, hot summer - nothing like the summers usually are in Finland. Now it's a comfy summer weather for me - about 20-22 in celsius (68-71 in F). But still no rain. Everything is brown and dead. My jasmine tree is green, but the leaves are hanging sadly, all curled up.

Those tornadoes and hurricanes are so dreadful - I'm glad we don't have those. I'm scared enough of a regular thunderstorm!

We had some of that rain for two nights in a row. Just delightful.
Glad to hear everything is okay at your casa.

Send it our way! Today is supposed to be the last of the super hot (103+) days and then our long awaited break is supposed to come on in.

Oh what I'd do for a normal temp day!

I'm glad you got some relief from the heat. This summer heat is really bad this year. We've had some afternoon showers, but I'm ready for a nice long steady rain and my lawn would really appreciate it.

I hope there's wasn't anyone hurt with the tornado.
