Last year was worse, especially the end of Sep- 1st week of October. I'm only about 45 miles Southwest of you.

Here's a screen shot from my weather station (yeah, I'm a geek) from 3 October, 2019:

Ah, a fellow aficianado of all things meteorological. Upgrading my monitoring gear is on my domestic chore list - maybe after the holidays. Also, finishing my ham radio license studies, getting my broadcast ticket, joining the ARRL (they play a big part in severe weather networks), and getting the tubes hot in the HW-101 transceiver behind me. (I’m planning ahead.) I’ve been threatening that for 45 years, and now I mean it. At one time, I was taking courses to get my meteorology degree, or at least a cert. Got the prerequisite Meteorology 101, Ocean Sciences 102, Chem 101, etc. I never finished for one good reason: MONEY. I was in hock for student loans until recently. I’ve been a NWS grad storm spotter for 25 years, got recertified thru the NWS Birmingham office again about seven years ago. I retired on disability, and I told my wife that I think I’m finally gonna finish a degree that I started forty years ago. Possibly online, out of pocket, and weather related.
