little over 1.5 IMBY, rain has tapered to a mist.

It was massive brush piles on top of the slope that were burning last night. We've had several substantial storms over the summer and there was much brush and limbs that had to be removed from communities, I'm guessing the brush was waiting to be processed and then composted. It looked like a grass fire may have started at a distant part of the landfill, spread to the brush operation, and then just took off.

^ not as much smoke this morning on my way to work, the aerial truck is still there.

It was roaring on my way home from work at 6:00 PM. The entire row of brush, sever hundred feet long, was fully involved in flames 30-40 feet high. There was one aerial truck spraying water that I could see while driving south past the power plant on Rt. 5, but it wasn't having any effect at all. Winds were blowing and the brush was right at the top of a steep wide-open slope. It honestly looked like they were gong to need to let it burn out itself, it was that impressive.

2 inches IMBY, best rain since spring.

There was an inch in the cheap plastic garden gauge this morning when I went to work, and it's been raining most of the day.

Yeah, RT. 141 over the mountain was closed for 2 days after the event, and then for several days the following spring for additional clean-up work.

Trees and branches down across town. Several roads blocked, had to reverse direction 3 time coming home due to frees blocking road.

Wind just picked up here in Springfield, trash and leaves blowing around outside my office window..

High wind warnings are up.

West Side, the boat ramp at the treatment plant.

Send those flows down the Connecticut River, down here it's as low as I've ever seen it. People are driving their vehicles out on the exposed riverbed across from the casino. There are rocks and sand bars in the river I haven't seen before, I won't go out in the boat with it this low.

1.1 inches in the cheap plastic garden gauge is morning. Irrigation system is finally off for the season.

Sundae River?

He's on a well.

Just turned really dark here is downtown Springfield. Cars had to turn their lights on its so dark.

Sun just popped out here in lovely downtown Springfield.

lol. I remember my dad had a 1973 F150 with an 8-track in it.

8-track?

Damn, that's a good deal for B'East. If I lived closer I would do that.

It's still pretty exciting out here as darkness is falling.

maybe 0.2 inches here, not enough Yeah, downtown across the park from Tower Square, both windows faced southwest. Here is the conference room window, on the floor: We also lost a window in a cubicle that was occupied earlier in the day. I had encouraged staff in the office to work from home in the afternoon, I was about to go home and we had a power surge that knocked out the server so I was dealing with getting it rebooted so everyone could keep working remotely, and all hell broke loose, well maybe not all hell, but two windows anyway.

Just lost two windows on the 5th floor of my office building, they blew in in the gusts.

Inch of rain here with that cell that just rolled through, most in what seems like for ever.

Rumbles of thunder off to the west of downtown Springfield.
