Thunder, lightning ... Rain!

After a lengthy dry spell, portions of Washington Parish got rain beginning about midnight Wednesday.By 8 a.m., only puddles remained in Bogalusa - and it was barely damp heading south of town ... but that all changed about mid-morning, as a heavy band of thunderstorms moved through.

"My weather radio kep going off," one Bogalusa resident said. "There was warning after warning."

According to weatherbug, the official weather service for wpnewsblog, another heavy band should move through the area between about 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.

"We really need this water," said a local watermelon grower. "It's been pretty bad, but if we can get some moisture along through here, we may have some good melons for July 4."
