Rain

Drought is pretty bad downstate, most of Upstate is fairly dry though that my very much so change come next week.

The thunderstorm

The thunder rumbled while I was in the swimming hole,
crack boom bang,
I headed back to camp when I saw the lightning,
Under the tarp,
Rumble, rumble.

The storm never came that close,
But it started to rain,
Not that hard.

So I sat and watched.
The rain picked up,
The 5 gallon bucket next to the tarp
Filled up.

And then it stopped,
much like it started.
I went for another swim.

Delmar Impervious Soils

With more rain expected this weekend, I thought it would be interesting to make a quick map of the Impervious souls (blacktop and concrete), along with stormwater outfalls in Delmar.
