The derecho came through this morning.

Dropped temps into the upper 60s and gave us 0.4" of rain.   :thrilled:

We've had 1.5" of rain in total since Thursday. 

I'd like to get at least another inch before Wednesday.

Between 1.75" and 2" of rain overnight.

Before that rain event, this was the third driest summer on record in Chicago. 

Now, it's the nineteenth.

Midway Airport had just over 2.5"

0.4" of rain this morning, 3.41" for the month of July.  About an inch below average. 

Not bad I guess.   :dunno:

ANOTHER possible derecho.  70 mph winds, and 0.6" of rain.

60,000+ in Northern Indiana without electricity (not me this time).
