  1. In May of 2022 I recorded over 10,000 strikes and my station started recording May 11th 2022. 10,000 strikes between May 11th and May 31st. This May, for the entire month -- 57.
  2. Recorded 67 lighting strikes yesterday. Getting wild locally.
  3. 0.38 yesterday. First precip since May 19th.
  4. Exactly. If we're going to endure 6 months of gray shitty weather, let us bask in the fact we have ZERO water issues. We're pretty much the least freshwater deprived place on earth.
  5. Let's see if next Monday's system holds together, would really dent the drought situation.
  6. 85% isn't 100.... so there's a big of wiggle room in there for natural causes.
  7. That's a wrap. Just to compare, May 2022 had over 10,000 lighting strikes.
  8. August 2022 I actually had 17,000!
  9. I haven't detected a lightning strike in 17 days. Here's May 2022 versus May 2023 for severe weather. This has a 30 mile radius of detection.
  10. I don't water or fertilize mine, I just burn about a gallon of gas every 7 to 10 days mowing it. Grass is primarily a uniform erosion control, which native grass would accomplish. Cutting your lawn does work as a rodent and pest barrier for the home, so that's one unmentioned perk.
  11. I don't need sunglasses.... saves on eye strain.
  12. It's a giant waste of time for myself, but it keeps old men busy.
  13. This smoke overhead absolutely sucks. It has an September vibe.
  14. I read "ca" and thought that was California, kind of a weird abbreviation when California is synonymous with forest fires.
  15. My weather station recorded it's highest UV rating back in early May..... smoke has kept the higher sun angle from registering a higher reading since then.
  16. At least we know it has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with arson. We just had one of the wettest seasons on record and just like that.... FIRE CITY!
  17. Everyone knows that 85F weather spontaneously ignites fires.
  18. Damn, arsonists getting an early jump on the intentionally set forest fire season eh?
  19. Summer storm activity in Michigan has really declined over the last 15 years or more.
  20. I might be wrong, but I believe they spray this down and then spread the fine gravel over it. They rarely ever do this here.
