Subject: Where is the rain?
In reply to: Neeney 's message, "Re: Heat that won't quit" on 17:28:26 07/28/11 Thu

Central air is wonderful or, at least, a window unit. Twenty-some people are said to have already died in the KC area with heat related illnesses. Terrible. There are cooling centers and churches and malls available but some people just don't or can't go. In this heat the just blow hot air back on people and it doesn't actually cool the body down.

We had winds, thunder and lightening last night but AGAIN NO RAIN! Aargh. The ground crunches when you walk and cracks are really opening up. The corn crop is gone, the farmers might be able to grind it and use as livestock food. Wouldn't be surprised if the price of corn spikes. If we don't get more rains soon, the soy beans will die too. August is usually the hottest, driest month!

A chance of some rain later tonight . . . I am hoping and praying.
