Yes. I live 1 mile from there. Was a slightly eerie 2 hours when they thought there was a 2nd shooter on the run. 

Chris, My wife and I were there having a light dinner in the "Oak Room", downstairs restaurant, Ball room upstairs and Prime restuarant as well, at 715pm or so, there was maybe 8 people in the lower restaurant, most on patio (nice night etc) ,I heard rapid shots, I yelled that's gunfire! I grabbed my wife , up a flight of stairs in the rear, to the kitchen , there are only two exits to the "outside" ,one to the dumpster , the other for delivery vehicle access  , and towards the course . We took the one to the dumpster, there were about ten of us there fence in, I was telling my wife anyone opens that door I'm lifting you on top of the dumpster, jump to the ground and run! She was crying I'm not leaving you. I heard a scream from the kitchen, someone opened the door,  and said the assailant ran out the other door bleeding near his head.

Before that he was tackled dropped the gun, someone hit him with a chair. We then went to the ball room where police escorted us to the SpitBrook road fire station, I was able to get my car yesterday at noon, there were still 10 cruisers and I had to give my license phone number etc.

I am a little shell shocked, never in my life would I think this would happen to me and my wife, we were one of the lucky ones.

I’ve got both. Squirrels and acorns. It’s awesome how the acorns plant themselves right into the holes in the lawn from aerating. I can’t wait to see another new oak grove in my lawn next spring

New overseed after aeration is doing great here. With Stein the last 15 days I’ve had to water everyday.. but man does it look good. Country club esque

You know, you gave me a big X on my comment about where did you see 3"-6". Am I missing something? Even if it's more CNE / NNE The highest I saw I was 3". Hey, maybe I'm missing something. Instead of giving the big X, help me understand what I'm missing

Jeezuz, glad you are ok!   Life altering experience for sure.   Quick thinking, nice work.  My ADD mind is always planning worst case scenario escapes.

Took the doggo on a two mile night walk and can definitely feel the humidity creeping in.  Feels nice this time of year.

RGEM shifted south and jacks rt 2 for midweek.

I actually "liked" that, but then realized central NH and Maine need it way more than we do here. I looked at HPC QPf for over the next five days, and it does indeed look like all, pretty much(?) New England gets a good dousing.

They did a number on my dogwood a couple of weeks ago.  Not sure what they were eating.  Plenty of acorns to get fat on. 

Flowering dogwood consistently produces small fruit that wildlife loves.  

A cloudy morning - quite unusual in recent months.  No rain, but maybe tonight.

Used to get a deer feeding on my dogwood at the old house.

Please rain, my lawns crying for moisture.

Been pouring here in SLK all morning. Radar is weird with all the elevation changes. 

[powderfreak]

Sure is dreary after a month of sun.

Cloudy and light rain.

Yeah you have to use composite or the third or fourth tilt.

Thanks. Still getting used to not watching radar at 100ft ASL. 

Won’t be here full time but I have to admit—I love it up here. It’s just out in the middle of nowhere.

random thought

once the clouds claim the sky later in the day ... wondering if the sun will not be seen again until Saturday.
