Well, I guess it worked (earlier post on the subject):

Most of Alabama received rain during the first days of Gov. Bob Riley’s “Days of Prayer for Rain” — not enough to end the summer drought, but enough to start turning yards from brown to green.

. . .

“Any amount of rain is helpful and welcome. Alabama needs a lot more, though, so Gov. Riley continues encouraging citizens to pray for rain,” Jeff Emerson, Riley’s communications director, said Monday.

. . .

Does the recent rain mean the prayers worked?

“That’s something we in the science part of our lives won’t be able to answer,” [state climatologist John] Christy said. But he said there were prayers for rain at his church Sunday.

Well, good for them. But, really, the state climatologist doesn’t believe there are natural phenomena that cause droughts and rain?
