Received 0.65" of rain today, August total is 2.25". Started mowing late yesterday, got another bit this morning but had to stop cuz of the rain, hopefully will finish romorrow. Had a boatload of branches etc. to cleanup from Monday's storm, finally finished late yesterday. One of the neighbors just mows them, from the sound of things, lol.

Just got power back here - Yay! We have a small 4000 watt generator that I dusted off last night to save the food in the fridge. Now it's quiet and also a really nice evening out. I do my best backup power research during outages, lol. Looking at battery backup with solar input capability this time around. Not cheap, but would be nice for next time. It's easy to get complacent since it doesn't happen too often. Hope you get your power back soon too!

Had an experience like that from Floyd. This was pretty vigorous wind wise, still no power here and no indication of when we might get it back. Think Peco is momentarily overwhelmed... With the road closed, the only sound here is the neighbor's generator, and katydids....very dark, lol.

That was pretty impressive looking on the approach! Wind was strong here, lost power, a small tree snapped in half, and a bunch of branches down. Also got about 3/4" of rain with it.

Started raining here about an hour ago, got about 0.08" so far. With the better returns getting closer, the breeze is picking up nicely. Feels nice and active out, lol. 72F here at the moment.

I can see why! So is that local local or 50 miles local? Beautiful either way. Had you been out there before? What's the elevation where that picture was taken? Good luck, and enjoy!

With the 0.43 earlier, July total here is 5.70". Not bad, kept things pretty green heading into August. Not sure if I've been this enthusiastic about a cold front during the summer before, not because of severe weather potential, but for the apparent longevity of the upcoming cool spell. Don't recall a forecast like this for the 1st week of August, with highs from 80 to 83 for the next week. Yes!

And another 0.43" from a followup popup...there's a line not too far to the NW that I'm thinking may be the last hurrah for this warm spell we've been having...

Just had a popup move through here for a quick 0.21". July total is 5.27". Cooled it off just a little (currently 81F), and I can't wait for these cooler temperatures and drier air that's coming!

Wound up with 0.90 inches of rain here. Too bad about the concert ^^... did you see some lightning at least, lol?

Nice outflow boundary! Also looks like another hour or so of steady rain...

I'm imagining it has! Been a real nice storm here, with a few pretty close strikes (<.05 miles), and then more laid back cloud lightning with some nice spread out lightning bolts and the long rumbling on thunder afterwards. Picked up 0.75" of rain, mostly at the beginning, still a light steady rain with some lightning and thunder. An enjoyable way to spend a Friday evening on the porch!

Got a severe tstorm warning here, don't know if it will hold together. Plenty of thunder and lightning off to the west at the moment. Hoping at least for a little (momentary) cooling off.

Is your rain barrel near your sump? Where does the overflow go (from the barrel)? Probably not an issue, but just to rule it out. Or maybe your soaker hoses are really putting out, lol.

Received a total of 0.25" of rain from the tail of that line - it was severe warned here but lightning was minimal as was the wind. July total is now 4.16". Temps cooled off nicely too, 72F at the moment. Savoring it before it gets hot later this week!

Got some rumbles off to the west here, this might congeal into something larger (or not, lol).

Picked up some wetness from a little popup earlier, 0.04". Also got 0.08" this morning. Brings the July total here to 3.91". Nice evening!

Free range corndogs! Yummy!

Picked up 0.58" late last night, July total is 3.79". Not a bad day out there, still a little humid though.

Was fun watching the approach, in the end it's just a nice thundershower, and did a nice job cooling things down a bit. 68F here.

Picked up 0.11" this afternoon from a tshower that went SW of here, could hear the thunder, rained for about 15 minutes. July total is 3.21" so far. Forecast for Saturday sounds real nice.

Need a rope tow, lol. For right now, every day's a holiday, traffic wise at least

I'm Fungus guy (lawn fungus, that is), which might be worse. If there's any standing water around here I can be Mosquito guy. I've been thinking 87 to 93 and humid until early September, in other words the same thing we've been having. Hope not, but most years that's what we do in July and August anyway. I was doing some cleanup around the kettle fire area this afternoon, and the idea of October weather was very appealing! Eta, wound up with 0.57" total rainfall for the weekend, most of it overnight and this morning.

Thanks for the heads up! Wonder how long that will last? Since you mentioned it, it is pretty quiet here. I could get used to it, lol.

1.75" for the day here, July total is 2.40" to date.
