Not sure it was accurate but it felt like 100+.

Don't worry. You'll get there.

Only 42 degrees! That's sounds tolerable.

I had to get my roof and gutters replaced due to hail damage from a storm back in March. (I'm also on the Chisholm Trail.) While we were getting the new gutters put on I got a couple of rainbarrels plumbed in to catch what little rain we usually get to use in the garden. Well, they have been filled to overflowing for over 2 months so far. I want to get a couple of the 255 gal containers behind the shed and fill them from my shed roof.

Of course, once I spend the money to do that it will stop raining.

but the extremes in both droughts and floods.

We expect next year to have some really destructive floods in California. I expect to hear you say we are complaining.

Too bad it also vastly destructive to every form of flora & fauna caught in its wake or it might be more fun to read about. But nothing we can do about it.
I mean, after one has stopped being a major part of the problem and has rallied to its cause, there is not much else someone who truly cares about animals, plants and future life on this planet can do but die off themselves or watch the show unfold.
I hope you get a lot of fresh water and that your ecosystem is able to thrive as I hope it soon does for the denizens of my golden state.
