  1. Saw the fuse pop on the power line outside my office. Loud blast when it tripped. Power out in East Greenwich.
  2. Spring cankerworms did a serious number on the oak trees on my property. I was surprised that many of the leaves grew back. Hopefully the cankerworms don't come back because I'm not sure how many years of that abuse they can handle. Especially after the gypsy moths from a few years back.
  3. 0.62" in the gauge in East Greenwich. My dad down in Westerly had 1.49" as of about 20 minutes ago.
  4. 5 years in NC and I can tell you the heat and humidity are relentless. The same way people feel about getting depressed when the sun sets early, cold, etc, up here is how I was starting to feel about summer down there. 4 months or so of pain.
  5. Vs. by Mission of Burma is one of my favorite albums of all time.
  6. Looking over the bathymetric data for that area, it's crazy shallow so large diurnal swings with high maxima don't seem too crazy to me. Like Dendrite pointed out, we only have recorded data for about 4 years so who knows if its common or uncommon. Unfortunately the NDBC owned stations don't have temperature sensors which is a bummer since they would likely have datasets stretching much further back.

  8. Basement window exploded and sent a torrent of water in to the dryer area. File that under less than ideal. 1.61” from this round of storms.
  9. Most of my 3 acre property looks like that. Cankerworms have devastated the oaks and beech trees. The property is heavily wooded so hopefully they can make a recovery or else I’m going to have a lot of trees to take down. Someone from DEM stopped by because the damage was so noticeable from I95. She said it’s the worst that she’s seen in the state. For about 2 weeks, everything was covered in worms. Lots of turkeys and other birds showed up and stayed close for the buffet while they were in full swing.
  10. My brother’s property is on the eastern edge of the evacuation zone and he’s been watching National Guard blackhawks fly overhead scooping water from local ponds. 650 acres have burned. A fire in West Greenwich burned 200 acres over the past 48 hours.
  11. Flooding in Weekapaug per my dad. The causeway on Weekapaug road has a significant amount of water on it. He let a guy heading in that direction know that the road was flooded out and was told there was a van floating on Atlantic Ave. Not sure that is a reliable report but the beaches are definitely taking it on the chin.
  12. I had an inguinal hernia about 20 years ago but it sounds like you might have a umbilical hernia but as SouthCoast said above, it might just be a muscle strain. A breakdown of different types of hernias from the always accurate WebMD. https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/types-of-hernias
