I haven't understood why the western world has taken the Hamas-run Health Ministry reported number of deaths as gospel. All these people going "omg 30,000 women and children have died, Israel bad" without mentioning that those numbers are provided by the very group that Israel is fighting, as if they don't have a vested interest in making those deaths appear as large as possible. It seems like a pretty easy point to make yet it always gets overlooked by the groups that want to make Israel appear inhumane.
To be certain, I'm not saying Israel's response has or has not been disproportionate or that a large number of deaths are women and children. I'm just saying maybe just maybe we don't take Hamas's word for it.
Sorry, I must've forgotten to add on my last rainfall and was nearly at 4" for May. I picked up another half inch since midnight bringing my May total to around 4.33" now. I was somewhat disappointed how the southern and heaviest part of a line of storms was heading right at me after 12:00a.m, but suddenly gusted and crapped out just before it got here, and shifted just north. Radar estimates show up to 2"+ not very far west of here. Late yesterday afternoon a small potent line also died as it was about to move in. Got a decent lightning shot from that at least. A few models did well in showing my area near the south end.
Mother Nature is going to continue roaring with rumbles of thunder across the majority of the Heartland...it'll stay pretty busy for a lot of you guys...
