Listening to the rain

We are finally getting rain today.  All the trees and plants are so sad.  They have been without rain for days and days.  I am also keeping an ear out for the weather radio, severe thunderstorms are coming with the rain.  Hopefully all will go well and everyone will be safe.  High wides and hale warnings are out.  I had been hoping for just a nice soaking all day rain but here we go.  Praying that all goes well for the folks in the path of the storms.
