Relief From the Heat

The rain finally came last night and broke the heatwave that we had endured for the past ten days with consecutive high temperatures over 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whistling sound of the tree branches swayed in winds foretold the arrival of the precipitations. I waited with bated breath. And when the raindrops did hit the window panes, it was music to my ears.

The heat baked in the ground finally got a bit of cooling off. Thanks to the rain. Albeit, it only lasted for about an hour. Still, I much prefer temperatures in the 80s than the 90s.

By the way, the heatwave bulldozed us right through the summer solstice last week. Is this a sign of extreme weathers and a pattern for us to get used to?

Have you seen the dam that failed in Minnesota due to heavy flooding?
