What??

Oh, it's mid-June and we should be done with the majority of our tornado shenanigans? We should be transitioning to our summertime weather pattern, with more heat than rain starting to show up?
What?
What!
WHAT?
WHAT!
Okay, I love that commercial. I mean, Mr. Mayhem is certainly better than that annoying Flo gal, right? But I'd rather not be buying what Mother Nature is selling right now. The tornadoes over the weekend were ridiculous enough, but the rain was icing (a really nasty, salt-laden lard based icing, with onions and garlic in it...and if you just got hungry, I fear for your safety) on the proverbial cake. Again, THIS WAS RAIN WE DID NOT NEED!

Notice that a lot of that rain fell across Oklahoma's wheat belt from southwest through north central Oklahoma. Ag producers wanting to either finish or start harvesting their winter wheat were out of luck for the most part. We're still dealing with flooding from this rainfall.

And that will probably occur again, with more rain chances Tuesday overnight into Wednesday, then again over the weekend. Of course over the weekend, because that's how Mayhem works.
