Seven years ago today, the derecho that blew through sheared the porch off the house at my old place. Still probably one of the scariest days of my life but the one that re-ignited my weather interests

 

Back to today, 5.30" for the month and more rain incoming the next few days.

Yeah, that day. The top of one of my maples got ripped off and clipped the corner of the house causing roof damage and taking out a window. I wasn’t home when it happened but will never forget driving through downed trees and branches and having to walk to get to my house only to find it damaged. Not fun. The cell that went through my area eventually had a confirmed tornado just miles to my east. That day did the opposite for me, I dislike severe weather now. Nor’easters were always the driving force behind my weather interests anyway.

and we're finally officially out of drought.  Now listed as "abnormally dry" which is still ridiculous but less egregious.

Sounds like what happened to me a few years ago at my other house.

I don't like severe weather anymore either.

 

I had to replace the roof and my balcony.

And as insult to injury from that week, the moment I (and the town) got power back that Friday night, the furniture store in town went up in flames and burned down

It’s become something else since— what was a bank on that stretch of town road is now a brewery for instance
