[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 315301, member: 12570"] While I am sure that the rainfall was welcome, in light of the drought, I would think that the torrential downpours in such a short period of time would do little to lessen the effects of the drought. What is needed is a long, soaking rain over a period of days. It was fortunate that the SEC basketball game went in to overtime as the spectators were indoors during the worst of the storms. I hate to think of the injuries and additional damage that may have occurred had these people been out on the streets. I was in the Air Force prior to working at UPS and spent 4 years in Lubbock, TX. We had tornadoes touch down within 5 miles of the base. I put my 2 young children in the hallway underneath a mattress while I (foolishly) grabbed my camcorder and went outside to videotape them. The first one came down and went back up without causing any damage while the second one came down and tore up a trailer park pretty badly. They are an awesome sight when viewed from a safe distance. I do wish all who were affected by these storms a quick recovery and do hope that Allstate buys Scratch a new roof, as well as repairs your 2 vehicles. [/QUOTE]
