Ox and Moron




Well of course we're worried about flooding in mid-August, because we're in the
midst of Bizarro Summer here in Oklahoma!

Flooding in August.
Eating at Taco Bell and having a peaceful night.
Enjoying a Strawberry Pop-Tart.
4-way stops working like a fine precision timepiece.

Just check out the heavy rains that hit northern OK last night within an area
of training thunderstorms.



With more on the way through Wednesday morning.



This isn't just an "everybody gets 2" of rain" type of deal...this is one of
those where you might get a ton and somebody a county over gets left out, but
the potential for some real flooding problems is there--especially in those
areas that are prone to these problems.





And maybe a bit of wind and hail to send you on your way.







If you're not liking the rain, well at least come for the milder weather.





Because summer hits the fan after that brief interlude. Again.





Wait. A good Steven Seagal movie!

Darn, I knew Bizarro Summer wouldn't work on everything.
