    The 1.54" I picked up in last 24 hours was most in a 24 hour period for the year so far. Not a record (1.72 in 1994). Boy has it been muggy/humid these past few days! And the 53 mph gust during the 6 pm-7 pm storm also the highest so far this year.

    The storm that came thru here about 45-50 minutes ago should be knocking on your door any minute.

    Measured two separate 53 mph gusts with line that just moved thru here, rocking!

    And finally returned around 10:30 this morning. Out 18.5 hours. Had some rain early this morning, more around 11 am then more with thunder started around 1:30 pm and still sprinkling. To the west they've had a MUCH more active day.

    Still out. Least on the outage map it now says, 'crew dispatched', lol. About 14-15 hours now.

    On the 'waiting list' to get power back. Only had a 37 mph gust here, but just down the hill near the river several trees down into power lines and those down to the ground. Been out 4 hours, thankful for the generator.

    JUST finished the powerwashing and sitting down to eat a sandwich, looks like I'll be inside watching the storms go by for a while now.

    Blacksburg playing the Sterling game, issuing large STW's for multiple counties for the incoming line.

    We had a storm roll thru between 4:30 and 5 pm, about 1/3" of rain and some small hail, and a 27 mph gust. LOTS of thunder and lightning though.

    Yep, a completely different world up there. Glad you had a great trip, as someone else said, just gotta keep a watch out for the 'sliders' on the ground and whatnot.

Averaged low temp was 64.2 degrees vs a normal of 62.8 degrees, a +1.4 degrees above average. The overall averaged temp was 74.0 degrees vs a normal of 73.4 degrees, a +0.6 degrees above average. The total rainfall for the month was 4.50 inches vs a normal of 4.01 inches a +0.49 inches above average. The greatest rainfall was on the 21st with 1.07 inches. There were 16 days with measurable, 2 days with a 'T' and 12 dry days. There were 3 days with winds above 25 mph, with the highest wind happening on the 21st and 22nd at 26 mph. Three new records were set, a new daily rainfall on the 21st, a new record high on the 4th and a new 'warm minimum' set on the 19th. A very hot start to the month, with average to slightly below average the rest of the month and finally a month with above average precip.

    I'm in the same boat as you, wooded forest surrounding the house creating shade. The Flood brands DO just as good a job as the expensive stuff, IMO. I've used them for years, and about every third year I'm redoing the process, just at a cheaper price point.
