We stole all your rain... our gauge said 4.36 when it was all said and done. And the back yard is flooded...

Yep, distinctly remember that one (though my son doesn't; he was 22mo). The next day we drove to Atlanta for wife's first brain surgery and observation... and it proceeded to snow again (up there) the night before we came home! I think we used up our quota for the decade...

I'm trying to remember Hermine... I think we got tornado warnings for that one too, but overnight. I can't recall how strong it seemed but I do vaguely remember it just being longer with more rain and wind. The buildup to Idalia definitely seemed more dire--after all we expected a full Cat 1 to pass right over my house (the track kept jumping to either side of us). At least out here it was almost a non-event--just a couple trash cans and basketball goals tipped over and some small twigs and pine needles on the ground. Our power never even flickered. But yeah, very interesting observations!

Downgraded to a tropical storm now (1700 EDT advisory)

Let's hope that trend continues....

Tornado warning southwest of Savannah, and I'm right on the edge...

I deove through the last wave heading west from downtown Savannah last night. Really heavy rain and some intense lightning for a bit. And too many people driving with hazard lights on... A friend took this picture of the tornado-warned storm in Effingham.

Dang, we got hail again! Just pea sized this time but still... Three times in less than two months. We almost never get hail here. And it's still raining, and our backyard is flooded...

Got a little bit of ~3/8" hail last night... it's a little weird getting hail twice in a couple months, since we rarely see it at all.

Yeah, yesterday and the night before had a winter feel to them, and given time of year and recent warmer weather they even felt a little colder. It was remarkable, but honestly kinda miserable especially for the first week of summer vacation...

We had a pretty good storm today with 1/4in hail (and apparently bigger at my son's school--he came home saying "it was raining ice cubes!" ) But just to the south/southwest they got some nasty hail, and I haven't seen that much purple and white on a radar in a long time, if ever. It got worse after this picture...

Ugh... the neighborhood pool opens 4/1 and I was hoping to make use of it...

Agreed. I had to break out the winter workout clothing again

I guess the one bright spot would be, maybe it would kill off some of these danged gnats...? I got eaten alive at my son's soccer practices this week...

It's absolutely glorious here, 84F at KSAV with a nice breeze and low humidity. I'll take two months of this, please...
