Mrs.J

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.

Back home is under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. Meanwhile got changed to a Tornado Watch over here in DE. Seems to be Tuesdays for storm days these last 2 weeks.

We ended up not going. Mr. J had woken up early in the morning to a headache that made him nauseous. I suspect the pressure change as at 2 am it started to drop. Went from 1020 down to 1015 by the afternoon. But did joke with him about the Palomarita he had on the boardwalk the day before. We ended up going to a restaurant we wanted to try. Went up to Milton to Po’ Boy and it did not disappoint. Who knew you could get that kind of Creole food in DE!

So we had a causality of the electrical storm last Tuesday. The younger Ms. J had been out doing a pet sitting job and drove home in the storm. She opened the garage door and put her car in. She went to put it down and it would not go down. Found out she had to hold the garage button down to force it down. Also the interior light would not turn off. So I told her to call the guy who installed it. He came out and the sensor eyes had gotten zapped so replaced them. But as for the light not turning off the circuit board in the unit got fried. As the garage door opener was installed when we moved in it is 16 yrs old. He found the circuit board from another guy as the rest of the unit has been working fine in hopes that it is all that is needed. We have a whole house surge protector on our panel but it just must have happened are the exact time that the door was asked to be opened.

Yep light rain just up the way from you in Lewes this morning.

Absolutely beautiful beach weather!

Not too bad. We walked south down the board walk so not as thick as right at the bus drop off. I think we are coming back down tomorrow also. Like you said this weather is amazing for beach weather. We took the bus down to avoid paying high parking.

My Rehoboth Beach observation

Getting dark here in Lewes. Radar showing a couple of cells that will be coming through.

So ended up with 1.14” at the house in Frederick. Monthly total of 8.90” so far. compared to the 2 and a half inches last July. Not sure what we got here in Lewes last night. The thunder was so loud and we are in a ground floor condo and it shook the entire room. I have heard that there was a situation down in Chincoteague overnight at the camp grounds. Tent campers were having a rough night with flooding and campers that did not put their awnings down had them ripped off. And they got hit again this morning. There is standing water all over here in Lewes. Have seen video of the water spout off of Lewes last night. Am glad I looked at weather on Monday and decided to not take the ferry over to Cape May yesterday. Could have been an interesting ride if we were on the last ferry.
