The summer of 2011 in our area was in a drought. I had not mowed my lawn since early May, and everything was brown. Some trees had already started turning as if it were Autumn. It made for great flying all summer, as we never missed a weekend due to rain. A week or so before Labor Day we had some rain, just enough to start reviving the grass enough to mow again. Then came the big news-remnants of Hurricane Irene would be visiting us for the Labor Day weekend.
