Well, we did manage to weather the storm. Lots of rain and some blustery wind here at the house, but no damage nor power outage. I understand that several thousand in the general area are without power, and some isolated street flooding occurred, but all in all not bad (thank God).

We were very fortunate to have a ten minute downpour yesterday. With this heat and without much rain, it can be dangerous because of the chance of fire.
We never water the lawn or gardens, unless we've newly planted, or unless it's our herbs, vegetables or flowers in planters.

Thank goodness you didn’t lose power or have a tree fall on your house or car.
I’d almost rather lose power in the winter, but we have a fireplace.

Why do ‘you’ loose the power so easily in the U.S?
‘We’ regularly, during winter, get 100mph+ gusts and massive unloadings of sky juice.
What is the difference?

We don’t bury our wires. Many cities’s are buried but mostly they’re on tall poles exposed to the weather.

We put up poles for phones back in the day, then put them up for TV and simply never changed.

You
were fortunate, thank God!
We have no way to water our lawn, so it just sits there and dies. When we get normal precipitation back again, it should green up again.
Every time we get a pitiful few tenths of an inch of rain, some green shoots appear. That gives me hope.

Our town has funding to refurbish our teeny downtown and despite intending to do everything else, road configuration change, new sidewalks and some building facad improvement, they are still saying burying the wires is too expensive. My suspicious mind tells me the utility company won’t agree to bargain. But I guess it is expensive.

Many times it is winds in the summer, and ice build-up in the winter, bringing trees down across power lines.
