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.

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.

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.

About a tenth overnight, about that much since the 7 am report. MUGGY, MUGGY, MUGGY! 71.2/70.0 currently with light rain at 9:30 am.

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.

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.
