**** Official Pray-For-Rain-in-DC July 4 Thread ****

[EveHammond13]

Dear Jesus,

I don't believe in you but nevertheless here I am praying for a wicked, drenching, lightning-ridden thunderstorm for Washington, DC on the evening of July 4, 2019.

Bring it, Lord! As only you can!

Amen

[Totally Tunsie]

1. The last DC forecast that I saw on the 6:00 news gave an

80% chance of thunderstorms from approx. 7 p.m. thru midnight.

Trump's party for himself...

[Totally Tunsie]

20. As the weather person was announcing her forecast,

I swear I heard a collective "sssss", as in "YESSSSS!!" reverberating throughout the land. It would be a prayer answered, that's for sure.

rain and destroy this fascist disaster.

It's been miserably hot and humid the past few days here in the DC area, and tomorrow is supposed to be the same with a high of 92.

42. The prayers appear to be working. 80% chance of storms!

Storm Team4 says there's now an 80 percent chance of storms, which could put fireworks in jeopardy.

Storm Team4 advises to have a backup plan and bring a tarp or lawn chair with you if you go out to watch fireworks since the ground may be wet.

The National Park Service says heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds could delay or cancel the big fireworks display.

If it comes to smiting, by all means, smite mightily.

[IcyPeas]

(That is John Belushi, circa 1973, leading the chant)

[Laelth]

60. If it rains and only 5,000 people show up ...

... the Psychopath-in-Chief will declare that 500,000 people showed up and that those who say otherwise are spreading "fake news" and are merely "angry Democrats" who are out to destroy him.

His sycophants will believe him despite what their eyes tell them from the actual media coverage.
