I thought you were getting all of the southern and mid west storms? If
not, at least you're missing the severe ones. I wish for you needed rain.

All east of us...we're part of the severe/extreme drought area of the
High Plains...

From an earlier posting in the recent thread on hail I posted the
following for another ahr'er regular...

We're in that narrow band of "extreme" on the edge of "exceptional" in
the SW corner of KS. While it shows extreme conditions on farther east
in KS, one must remember that their averages are 2x or more those of the
farther west and the indices are relative to averages for the areas. So,
if we had had what they have had we could well be near normal while
they're showing a world of hurt, comparatively.

We've had only about 1.5" of precipitation since last August and our
spring season when we expect to get most of our annual from t-storms is
rapidly coming to a close w/o any signs of relief...
