like unusually dry. We've had a streak of probably about a month of no rain. We just got a little bit of rain today. But we've been up in the 80-90 Fahrenheit range which is in the high 20s to 30 Celsius I believe. It's extremely hot for our climate and dry. And we're basically like a rainforest here in Washington so we'll spark with that up. I actually have the Bear Gulch fire just a mile or two from me and that's a big 5,000 acre fire that's just tearing through the mountains right now. Hey, okay, fine business on that channel. I hear it heard on the news and that it's been forest fires everywhere and that water fires breaking out everywhere. That's something else. Yeah, indeed. Anyway, like about a week ago tonight now, we had a very warm day, 25-26 Celsius or higher. And it was very hot and dry all day. And that night, around 11 o'clock in the evening, 11 p.m., we had a very wicked thunder and lightning storm, electrical storm. If you look at the island of Newfoundland on the map, we're surrounded by water of course. And it came up through the Bjorn Peninsula and came across Conception Bay and then into St. John's and it was on the go most of the night. We did notice throughout the night that you look to our north of that and you'd see lightning lighting up the sky but it was dry and warm. And around 11 o'clock it started here, it came in and boy I tell you, it came down with a vengeance. And that's the last day we had rain. We had a little rain and about an hour after an hour it moved back out to sea again. I'm here in St. John's, the capital city of Newfoundland, the province of Newfoundland. And we're right on the east coast so it lasted about an hour and by 12 or 1230 it was moved right off and moved right out to sea over the North Atlantic. And that, but it, that was the last bit of rain we had. Like I said, it rained here, I'm not sure how many millimeters we had but it was enough that some manhole covers came, popped up off the streets, you know, that, what they tell you is the water we had from that. But it only lasted about an hour.
