    I'm just SE Groveton in Hayfield, we were named in the warning...been watching lots of low level clouds streaming north but don't see any rotation yet. We're only tornado warned for about 3 min more.

    This is some of the worst humidity I think I've ever felt here, for 30+ years.

    Just came through!

    .12" since 6 a.m. this morning. I definitely thought the western region would be the primary beneficiary of Debby's rains given yesterday's and this morning's shifts, but definitely didn't think we'd be shut out this much today. Definitely more humid out there right now than, say, Satan's anus.

    100%...I do love a day-long (or even a couple) rain, especially when we get onshore flow going for a stretch in "normal" times. And yeah, this weekend right into mid-late next week looks like PERFECT conditions and temps. Got .24" in past 24 hours...looks like next big slug of Debby's rain moving in shortly.

    We get an Airbnb two blocks inland from this hotel in Myrtle Beach a couple times a year. With the exception of one convective band about to move in, this view yesterday (and still is this morning) pretty sedate...just saw a nice sunrise, in fact. They recorded just over 1.5" in this part of the Grand Strand in past 24 hours...still calling for "catastrophic" 10-15 inch rains in Horry County. We'll see.

    So, I'm perfectly happy with that forecasted rain in my very dry corner of SE FfxCo...and even happier that the Valley is forecasted to get even more, because they desperately need it more than us!

    Paging @aldie 22 -- IS it that destructive??

    Ahhh, man...this is AWESOME!!

    Y'all in western MD this weekend? Radar definitely looking spicier there right now... STW just issued here.
  12. SouthboundYank
    Surprisingly, got up to 102 IMBY about three hours ago..."down" to about 92 right now. Today was a hot one, no doubt.
  13. SouthboundYank
    I know, right? And then "POOF!" so quickly on radar! Man, thought for sure those storms would nick us again today, but nope. I can't bitch, we got a good rain the past couple of days.
  14. SouthboundYank
    We've gotten smacked with at least 30-60 min of heavy rain over each of the past three days...to the tune of .08" within that time period. Of course, we're TRYING to get some sealing on our patio to dry in that timeframe...so accordingly, IT'S BEEN RAINING EACH AFTERNOON. Good Lord. Currently 88/70...with dark clouds and thunder to the north and STW all around us, but while we cleaned up during a good shower around lunchtime today, I think we're gonna miss out on this round.

    Ohhh...never, my friend. That wasn't meant as a negative. You are one of the folks who's made me LOL on this forum on a regular basis than many others over the past 10-15 years.
  16. SouthboundYank
    Nine feet TALL! And WIDE!! Damn... Currently 82 IMBY as well...lot more humid today.

    I know, right? I must've been channeling @ravensrule...

    I appreciate the link to a squirrel-proof feeder...I've wanted to mount a bird feeder in recent years, but the damn yard rats are LEGION around our house, and they ruin the whole birding experience (short of me siccing the dog on them OR pulling out my BB gun).
  19. SouthboundYank
    Yes, but more to the point...how are the...ummmmm..."crops" doing?
  20. SouthboundYank
  21. SouthboundYank
    Yes, I hate them, too...little bastards have chewed the crap out of wiring and insulation in our vehicle's engine boxes several times in recent years during colder weather. I have no trouble siccing the dog on them regularly. I will say, though...I've never seen them go after a tomato or other garden veggies. That's interesting. We have a family of BLACK squirrels that roam around my building here at work on Fort Belvoir, for a couple years now...have never before or seen that color/variety.
  22. SouthboundYank
    Yeah, probably like they did LAST week. I'll believe it if/when I see it.
  23. SouthboundYank
    My condolences on those outside stairs...there are a TON of homes in our subdivision (built nearly 60 years ago) that suffer from so many clogging and backup issues, including us in the past. Being surrounded by mature oaks and maples doesn't help. I've had a new drain pan installed in our half-basement stairs, then covered the grill over THAT with a fine mesh, which has helped...but I'm always on patrol when it rains.
  24. SouthboundYank
    All great observations and info...TY for sharing!!

    70/61. Feels a bit more refreshing out there this A.M. Picked up .28" since this time yesterday from a midday gully-washer passing through.
