Another round anyone?

No, Thanks. I've had plenty!

We had yet another round of storms come through late this afternoon. Yup, another 1.3 inches of rain the last I looked and it's still raining. Another flash flood, carrying Sleepytime Bridge downstream further. Fortunately, it got hung up in the fence and didn't go under the highway.
Here are a few photo highlights of the afternoon. The clouds were amazing.

A shelf cloud closing in fast from the North.
The clouds were almost boiling.
Floody Floody- AGAIN.
I want my pot of gold!
But, the sun came out briefly before round 3!

Justine- I thought you could use this one rather than the old photo off my phone. Let me know.

  4. Localzone- Thanks- I hope we get some good weather soon as well. We're supposed to have sun today but then back to more rain next week.
    Debbie- this was the OTHER bridge that was washed out. We haven't had time to put them back in place yet. This one had been hung up in the trees,
    Lisa- you had more than we did! I checked the rain gauge this morning- 1.8 inches. Of course that makes 2.8 in the past 24 hours and probably close to 8 inches in the past week. At least we didn't have the wind damage so many others have had. I haven't been out to the garden since yesterday morning to survey the damage, though.
    I hope you are all surviving this crazy weather we've been having.

  6. I think we are all so very tired of this weather pattern.

    Hang in there... it has got to get better! The good news is ... if I ate lambs quarters or purslane ... they are growing by leaps and bounds!

    Just another summer in Iowa!
