Build your own Rain Gauge Project

Materials-

1 pickle jar (32oz)

One plastic ruler

Waterproof Tape

1 Utility Knife

Optional-

Waterproof (exterior) paint

Cut your plastic ruler to 6 inches

Tape ruler to the inside of the jar

At this point you are done, but if you are feeling extra crafty and want to make it one of a kind you can decorate with waterproof paint. Make sure you leave the spot on the jar where the ruler is open and unpainted.

Rain gauges need to not be obstructed by trees or overhangs. Place them in an open spot for the most accurate readings.

Mother Nature can be a beautiful thing, bright colors, warm sun and sometimes perfect days. It’s when she’s in a bad mood you want to stay away and hope she blows over without any problems. Of course tornados or hurricanes can damage property in a heartbeat, but do you ever worry about lightning? The bright beautiful flash of light that shows you everything for a brief moment can be seriously dangerous. Just recently, one small child was playing in the rain on a warm summer’s day only to be standing in the wrong spot at the wrong time. She was standing under a tall tree in her front yard, but all changed in one fleeting moment. The bolt of lightning hit the tree and instantly killed the child. In one second a family’s life was changed forever. We must respect the world around us, its beauty and all it mood swings. Keep safe if you just can’t resist checking out the storms.

Are you obsessed with storms?

Nature can be so amazing at times. The lights, sound and pounding rain of a good storm not only brings needed water to our lands, but fills that desire in people to get as close to nature as possible and see what it has to offer.

One thing you are probably not noticing when a storm hits is all the people who come out to see it. Of course, protected by their garage roof, but hardly protected at all. The urge to see what happening and the smell of the rain has such a hold on some they just can’t resist going outside. Why do we put our lives in danger to see the storm?

A storm took a town in Minnesota by surprise last week. Two minutes after the sirens went off a tornado touched down. Two minutes, that’s all! Many people on the news said they heard the sirens but went outside to see what was going on. Luckily no one was hurt by this tornado.

Why go outside to see, why not take cover? Are we immune to the sirens? Do we not believe there is immediate danger?
