It rained from 11am to 6pm, today. At times, torrential, but my phone didn’t go off every 2 minutes like yesterday and we didn’t lose power. Lesser winds, too.
Everything is a soggy, slimy mess, but the critters are all OK; I just did barn chores. Electricity is off to the chicken coop. I tried to reset the breaker, but still nothing. It may have been zapped at some point. Beau will be back on Saturday. Until then, lower temps in the 70’s and less humidity so, ‘The Girls’ should be fine. They must’ve been bored today; they gave me four eggs, LOL!
I’m going to have to spend time this weekend pulling back straw mulch on the raised beds and...praying! I estimate that we got 5-6” of rain in 2 days and there is lots of flooding in the low lands below us. ;)
ENOUGH, Mother Nature! You WIN, LOL! OK - let’s go straight to DROUGHT for the REST of the Summer, shall we? Thanks! :)
Looking @ current radar, I would not want to be out on Lake Michigan right now!
There’s still lots of storm action in SE WI, NE IL, and moving into NW IN. Ryan Hall reports 2 or 3 new tornado warnings every time I come in the house for a few minutes. :-(
(I discovered that brief punch of powerful easterly wind in our storms a couple days ago damaged a few shingles, so I’m up and down the ladder patching that, now. I waited for the sun to drop low enough I wouldn’t cook in 10 minutes!)
One of our ‘Culver’s Barns’ was knocked over in this last round of storms. People are very sad...but the owner vows to make it right again!
