Schools were closed in some of the towns around here because of trees in the road .

It starts an hour earlier about 15 minutes after the Op starts, but will end an hour later. So 3 hours for a full 15 day cycle. Days 16-35 are only with the 0z run, but will not be created until 21 hours later. Finishing around 2z of the next day .

I think he has his own action figures....lol

I have been mowing once per week, for most of the summer. There was a period of time in May/June that I had a couple of weeks of twice per week. I have a well and have been watering it just enough to keep Stein at bay. My well goes down about 350 feet, so haven't been worried about it drying out. I am in somewhat of a low spot in my neighborhood, so all the water drains down towards me.

33 here .

2.45”. We had a inch on the 29th and an inch this past Thursday. That was the first inch of rain since July 5th. Went a long stretch with not much but a tenth here a tenth there. Have a neighbor down the street who doesn’t have a irrigation system and doesn’t water and it looks similar to yours. Certainly not as bad. But I just tried to throw a little water at it a couple times a week just to try and keep it alive. There are some parts of my lawn that I didn’t water and they are fried .

Yeah I have a well and a irrigation system. I am right in the middle of that severe drought, but my yard has been doing well. This was taken on Aug 24th. .

Just had a cell blow up here. 0.40" and still pouring.

I did as well.

Check out this wording, hope people heed it: Unsurvivable storm surge with large and destructive waves will cause catastrophic damage from Sea Rim State Park, Texas, to Intracoastal City, Louisiana, including Calcasieu and Sabine Lakes. This storm surge could penetrate up to 30 miles inland from the immediate coastline in southwestern Louisiana and far southeastern Texas.

What and where were the strongest gusts with Fay? How many spinners came from that one? I remember hearing forecast of 4-8 spinners and widespread wind.

Glorified Noreaster with a name. We get better noreasters in October.

This time last year from the bottom of the image out was all thick woods. Made the decision earlier this year to stretch it out. Been fighting with the late winter, wet spring and now the dry weather, but it’s holding. Been working hard to not lose the investment. This was from about a week ago. .

We have black locust everywhere in our neighborhood. It’s awful .

23.75" Final

Metrowest is going to be the big winner I think...They always do well in these setups.
