Rain, thunder and lightning once again hitting this little corner of the world. Rained most of the morning, then just clouds. Just started all over again.

Had to drive across town to pick up grandson from school. Flooded streets, a few trees down from the 30-40mph winds. It was calm then, but it’s POURING down right now. Luckily, this new neighborhood for us has adequate storm drain system rather than dry-wells in the old neighborhood.

Sounds like you are getting it a bit worse than we have today. Yesterday the winds were very bad here, but today has mostly just been a lot of rain. The ground here just can't absorb any more water.

Stay safe up there!

Good evening, DD.

I don’t think we got much of anything tonight. Get prepared for tomorrow. The weather station was forecasting heavy rain with thunderstorms and lightening. Sure hope we don’t lose power.

We are in the country so several of the country roads have areas of flooding. When we have hi winds, you see several almonds trees down. they must have a shallow root system.

Have a good evening. Stay safe and dry.
