Serutan is natures spelled backwards...

I was complaining about the lack of precipitation causing a certain rather... whiff aroma around the sewer drains at big intersections like, say, 54th & College yesterday morning.

Well, we had a pretty good line of thunderstorms blow through yesterday evening, the kind that would have definitely had me worried about the old hackberry in the back yard were it still there.

The rain was blowing sideways and there was hail lashing the back wall of the house like half-spent turkey shot.

It wasn't a lot of rain in total, probably only a tenth of an inch or so, certainly no drought-buster, but hopefully the fact that it all came down at once provided enough water in the storm sewers to, er, get the mail moving, as it were.
