  1. well shit. that's a little too close for comfort at home.
  2. heck of a lead time on the newest warning for up here.
  3. ahhhhh looks much nicer on that radar
  4. theres def a little inflow notch on that bow portion of the storm. not surprised they tornado warned it, though rotation looks broad.
  5. Pretty sure Mt Airy has had 100 tornadoes this season.
  6. warning for the house, cell coming out of westminster.
  7. Id hate to be a novice weather follower coming into this thread for information. EJ downplays everything that even a watch is boring.
  8. i have no idea how much rain i got. i need to replace the batteries on the backyard station. usually the power cuts out overnight, but yesterday with storms coming in, the solar power died by 830. right as it began to rain.
  9. heavy rains and lots of lightning last evening. power went out a few times. couple transformers in the area blew. good stuff.
  10. .76" yesterday with the storms. So much lightning! Its been a long while since I've seen that many cloud to ground strikes.
  11. my random sunflowers are starting to bloom too! we have two varieties growing. Cannot wait to see how big the flower in the second pic gets, its stalk is thicc
  12. 92/73 at home. would kind of like storms to miss today, as i have softball later. and despite the heat, i do want to play
  13. I till the garden one time, just before planting. I don't even till the dead stuff at the end of the growing season, we just add the brush right on top and let it all break down on its own. One the brush is burned to ash, then we till it all in. We have clayey soil below the surface but hard compacted soil right on top, so we've found it best to till just before planting.
  14. my veggie garden space acts as a brush pile in the off season, and just before i'm getting ready to plant, we burn all the brush and till it into the soil. its been working out great, my garden grows really nicely. we also redid our entire front flower garden space, all of it tilled up and then put mulch down. haven't had any issues (except the flooding, different story). i recommend tilling whenever you can!
  15. other than having to play softball in the heat friday, bring it. pool will feel great on saturday.
  16. thankfully the leak was in the unfinished part, so just cinder block and concrete floors. but like most basements, they are filled with shit and as it always happens the leak ends up being in the like farthest corner where its surrounded by all the things. lol
  17. 2.32" yesterday, 6.03" for the month. basement flooded yesterday as well. a coworker who lives in Parkville said her neighborhood had a flash flood yesterday. feet of water in the basement, yard is all torn up. so as much as i was complaining last night with having to clean up, in comparison i was lucky.
  18. getting split by two cells at work. pouring with T&L north at home, and south. but just some clouds and distant thunder here.
  19. lol i meant later. sorry should have been more clear.
  20. nice downpour this morning around 515, picked up a quarter inch in 10 minutes
  21. hahaha, we have four or five growing under our bird feeder too. we are letting them go, i love sunflowers!
