I think I can find the radar. I texted my friend, but he's on his way to Brazil currently so we shall see. How are farmers summer crops coming along?

I was going to stop and snap some pictures out here in the Williams Grove area, because they grow several different types of produce, but the weather did not allow as I was driving through. Out here, the crops don't look too bad, but everything's irrigated. The corn on the edge of the fields that's not reached by the irrigation is stressed to the point where it will never produce a very viable crop. I'd imagine some of the unirrigated cornfields, look a lot like the edge of the cornfields out here in williams grove. Cabbage  pumpkins, squash, watermelon all looks pretty decent out here.

Anyways, I think it's squash and watermelon, something in th cucurbits family hard to tell when i'm driving.

Lightning's jumping around in the anville, far from any robust echoes.
