Eric, The town that was mentioned was in Georgia, I think although it has been plenty dry around here. We have received a few inches in the last week. Just enough to make it difficult to back my fifth wheel trailer back into its open shed because the yard will be too soft. I doubt that prayers will do any good as the good Lord knows what the situation is from the get-go. At least we don't have those Santa Ana winds to drive the fire like they do in California. Jesse in slightly damp Troy, TN USA Jesse last week my newspaper had a full page about the drought in the southern states Tennessee was mentioned, this small town had water for 3 hours only & had public prayers for rain. It said it had been the driest summer since 1934. E.W. MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
