On Aug 14, we had a thunderous rainstorm, and it was so very welcome. We haven't seen precipitation from the sky since July 20, and the temperatures have been alarmingly high. The ground is so dry, parched and hard-packed that I think more rain ran off than soaked into the ground. A pity, but that's what happens when things get out of whack, and drought conditions set in. Even my native foamflowers have been looking stressed.
Some raindrop streaks and gushings were noticed as I stood outside to watch
