Strange evening around these parts.
Took my daughter to a friends house earlier and noticed that it rained (quite a bit) just 3 blocks south of my house... yet not a drop on my block
Then we started getting photos submitted from listeners to our stations.
These were a couple of my favorites:-6

I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

When I moved here had to change my perspective of what weather is.
We lived in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, CA. Operative word, valley. Most rain come from the ocean west of us, traveled to the mountains, east, stalled to dump its load.
Here everything is all flat and storms travel like ships across the ocean. Hit this town miss that.
Took me a while (being dense as I can be) to realize that when someone asks me how much rain we got out our way, it was more than idle talk.
Farming is the main industry here.
Long story short seems just about everybody has a rain gauge. Sometimes it is surprising to me some of the extreme differences reported in such short distances, but in reality shouldn't be surprized.
You maybe interested in in this weather map.

For you local area during stormy weather this may be of interest.
Wunderground
Plug in your local zip code. When a map shows up, move cursor over it and click on NEXRAD. That is the simpler of the two, though WunderMap is fun.

Just some thoughts.

What happened to Kamala Harris' campaign?
She had the black vote all locked up.
