If you knew that, I would be offended by your constant referals to me as the
scape goat for everything that's wrong in this echo, this country, this world.
I'm not.

 BF> Can clouds really contain that amount of water?

Probably not just 'a' cloud, but many clouds passing over one spot can drop all
they have, which could add up to more than 18"...

For us, rain at this time of year is rare too. By the middle of May, normally
we'd have clear skys and lots of sunshine with high temps getting even higher
by
the end of June. July would normally be daytime temps in the mid-90s...not even
close this year.

Why would I bother? You're known for making false accusations that mean little
to me or anyone else.

Ok. But when we look back on this in 2 or 3 weeks, we'll all be able to say it
wasn't Roy, Ross, Jeff, Michiel or Shannon who started it. The real instigator
of flame wars will be kicked out of the echo at that time by either one of the
recognized moderators.
