Default Re: sharing the rain:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rain is liquid precipitation. On Earth, it is the condensation of atmospheric water vapor into drops heavy enough to fall, often making it to the surface. Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation. However, not all rain reaches the surface; some evaporates while falling through dry air. This is called virga, a phenomenon often seen in hot, dry desert regions.

Oh! That's what rain is. Sorry had to look it up since it's been a loooong while since it's rained here.
Feel free to send some this way!
