I hope everyone in the path of these tornadoes is safe.

I do too. We've had so much rain here (upstate SC) that the tree roots are soaked again and that's not good. We're trying to keep up with the mowing and it's really hard to do so. And we keep getting big sticks and limbs down all over making it harder to mow.

Yes - I hope everyone is safe also! May has been a lousy month. Lots of terrible wind, tons of rain and the temps have been not very warm at all. It's been hard to get any yard work done and the flowers I do have are suffering. Let's all hope that June will be a much calmer month!

I'm in the upper midwest and we received 4.9" of rain during just one night. We've had record rainfall this month. We were pretty dry since we don't get as much snow as we used to.

My area of WV is lush and green, almost a tropical look due to frequent rain and above average temperatures.

I don't complain about the rain since the lake supplying our public water dropped 8 ft. last summer during the drought, and it took a ton of chemicals to keep the water usable. Local people on wells, including my brother, were heavily impacted by the low water table. So all the rain we're getting now is beneficial now and later.

I have already started buying extra bottled water just in case there are similar issues with algae bloom this summer.
