On this first Friday of the 5th month of 2025, also known as May, it was back to Lucy Park I ventured, since I was in the neighborhood, and was curious to see how much more of Lucy Park has flooded since checking in yesterday.
Well. the Wichita River has added several more feet, since yesterday, totally covering the road, as you can clearly see via the photo documentation.
And rain continues to fall, despite the weather prediction not predicting the drips to be falling for multiple hours today.
I had planned to return to the Wichita Bluff Nature Area, for a repeat of yesterday's flood viewing.
But, by the time I got to the Wichita Bluff Nature Area rain was dripping copiously, lightning bolts were striking. And the clouds had that dark look I have seen before, with a tornado soon to start twisting.
So, it did not seem a wise idea to hike the bluffs under umbrella cover, with the umbrella making for a possible lightning strike target.
Thus, it was to Walmart I retreated for my high-speed walking and its resultant endorphin acquisition and anthropological observations.
It is now noon. The sky has ceased dripping. There are some breaks in the clouds, allowing some sunlight to break through.
The birds are sounding celebratory...
