When I headed out to pick up the newspaper I opened the door to a much cooler temperature and rain. Just a little ... but later this morning it started pouring! Swimming pools and rain gullies in the back yard.
Then flooding alerts started showing up on the phone! Our grand daughter is at work down in Lee's Summit ( about 15? miles south of Blue Springs) and started hearing about roads under water on her route home. She'll have to find an alternative route.
Later... looking out the windows it looks like the water has soaked into the ground... must have been dry to have soaked in this quickly. Here's hoping the water over the road on Lili's homeward route has receded as well.
Bob said I was wrong.. one of the swimming pools" still has water!! BTW.. the Kansas City area received 7 inches of rain in parts today!!
Looks like the KC area will have rain almost all week... no wonder I have been hearing fireworks all day. People don't want to wait till the 4th just in case it's too wet to set them off.
Happy Canada Day!!
