There was a low that stalled out in our area and we managed to get several inches of rain over a period of several days. It was nice to get a little rain for a change.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.

Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.

Just a little smidge of rain down in Rio Grande Valley Texas the past coupla weeks but we'll definitely take more - really green'd the place up.
We haven't had any substantial rain since June.
It is dryer than a popcorn fart here.
