Agghh! Just got back to sleep and now another storm is thundering it’s way through...
Anyway, KFVS-12 has some remarkable photos and vids on their website. Check this one out, full screen on a good size monitor for best effect:

To All:
I broke down and bought a “four pack” of young “Muir” lettuce plants. In each sub-pot(?) of plants there are 3-4 stems, and I see online that directions for planting recommend that for head lettuce, one normally plants 2-3 seeds together, then thin the plants when they get to 3-4” tall, which these now are. (None looked “great” @ Menards, but, this cool rainy weather has really revived them.)
Anyway, I am completely unfamiliar with “Muir” lettuce, but I am assuming each stem is actually an individual plant, and not multiple stems of the SAME plant, correct? So, I will need to thin them?
The plan is to pot these so I can move them around, and maybe try again to continue to grow these lettuce plants in the basement under a strong LED light, come mid-June or so. How big a pot per plant should I use?
Zone 7a, BTW.
Thanks!
Eeeeyowww!
Check out the rain recorded by radar in the pink swath (10-15”) per this cool interactive page / precip map from NOAA / NWS:
Ground truth (measured in a gauge) is almost 15” a bit north of Mayfield, KY. We’ve been “lucky” and by my “can gauge” estimate are at a bit over 9” here.
The good news is that the severe stuff finally underperformed around here, this afternoon and evening.
That NOAA page is very useful for checking the liquid precip. equivalent over most any recent time period you want to dial in.
