So who is interested in these…

The backside of the storm down in Montgomery Co from up here

83/80/76 out. Went out long enough to turn on the sprinkler to water my grass seed. I am determined to get it going this time. Younger Ms. J went down to ride early to beat the heat hopefully. Would like to see some rain today but incase it does not I should be covered with the watering.

So just stepped outside to bring in the trash can. It is mostly cloudy but some blue skies visible. But there is a very fine mist falling. Like you can only see it because there is just enough sun peaking through. Very humid out 80/89/77.

Was surprised to see .62” in my gauge this morning.

.41” for me.

Well ours is from a FiberOptics company digging trenches in our yard in January to lay cable. And then just dumping the clay they dig up putting seed and straw down as if that would grow back. It was a neighborhood wide project and they chose for whatever reason not to use the easement.

Absolutely pouring here.

I think you are correct on that. This is nothing like the past two summers here. I am happy for this nice steady rain coming in as we put down lawn patch yesterday in hopes that this rain would pan out.

My oldest just moved from Cathedral Heights. Told her about this from you.

That is funny. Because I have been saying I guess I need to leave my house for it to get rain. I joke about me being a rain/storm deterrent. Some of the craziest weather I have been in for a while out here. Anyone here heard anything about Lovettesville with a lot of tree damage? Have a friend who says they think it was a tornado not seeing anything that would suggest that.

Looked like it shifted just SE of here. Found a traffic cam at 1D and could see suspicious stuff SW of me. Being in a ground level condo I did not have the best view. Would have went out to look but even then would have had to go out to the center of the circle here. So we just found the safest place to be and watched radar. I had been watching the line come in but just as I thought it was going to be fine our phones went off.

Well that escalated quickly. Just got put under a Tornado Warning over here in DE.

So the woman we are pet sitting for here in DE just called and is stuck in Boston overnight. Her flight got canceled into DC. So we will be heading home a bit later than we had planned tomorrow afternoon.

So at home .79” out of that line. Monthly total so far of 9.76” This year has been so different from the last two years. The younger Ms. J has gotten off easy with not having to keep up on watering my deck plants.
