The Cimarron County Courthouse can barely be seen from the porch of The Boise City News, a block away during Monday afternoon’s rainstorm. About an inch of rain fell in less than 30 minutes from the fast-moving storm bringing high winds that took branches out of trees. Though the rain follows others over the past few weeks, the drought is not yet broken. Ag experts with the Conservation Service and Farm Service Agency point out that after a year, the damage is done. It will take sustained, general rains to reestablish moisture in the soil. On line go to http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/OklahomaDrought/page1.html to see NASA pictures of the progress of the drought. Below is more pictures of the RAIN, we love it.
