Gusted out and fell apart as it approached the casa. I'm in beautiful San Francisco so I don't know if I got any actual drops or not...if I did it looks like barely a sprinkle. I'll find out when I get home tonight.
Incidentally, the locals out here say they can't ever recall a summer that was so warm (70's) and sunny out here. It's been rough on the vegetation and water supply, but the weather has been gorgeous. Feels like March in Houston.

Not a drop, and barely any clouds for that matter south of town. I'm planning to golf tomorrow to tempt the rain gods.

A very nice shower in Anderson just now. Had to go outside and enjoy the sound and aroma of fresh rain. Never know when it will return.

Unless something happens this evening, this was a big letdown. No rain anywhere.
