ZOUNDS!




ZOUNDS!

Probably not REALLY worthy of one of our patented "ZOUNDS," except for the fact
that it's August. This is again very un-August-like. Round 2 of showers and
storms (I think round 2...maybe 3 or 4??) left another soaking across much of
the state, with 2-4 inches across localized areas.



Leaving us with some very impressive 2-day totals.



I believe Grady County is waving a very soggy white flag right about now. Flooding
has already occurred and it will continue to be a concern across central and
western Oklahoma.



At any rate, more's on the way over the weekend, with rain chances extending
well into next week.

We're now up to a statewide average of 3.15 inches for August  according to the
Mesonet, tied with 2002 for the 46th wettest on record.

With 20 days left and a lot of rain coming this weekend. It's raining RIGHT NOW,
for crying out loud!



ZOUNDS!
