I’m in Waynesboro and the broken line passed here with some thunder and some rain but nothing much. Hopefully it impedes for areas east to of here.
eta: and a full, perfect rainbow.
I have no idea how long this product has been around, but it's the first I've seen it. And it's awesome.

We got shutout down here but no worries. I've only had to do minimal watering of the garden this year with the regular 1-2" storms every week or so. Hopefully later today and tomorrow will be the same.
We watched it on a huge black and white console tv. I also remember listening to school closings on the combo radio during the Harden and Weaver show during snowstorms. It looked something like this...
I think we've discussed this in recent summers, but a difference in our big heats today and 20 years ago is how much better the air quality is now. Before the catalytic converter, the sky never looked this blue during our heat waves.
I won't wager a guess, but one of the things that make late season heat more tolerable for me is the earlier sunsets. So for me, this time of the year is the worst of it.
This evenings storm blew over my very full plum tomato plant. The roots were still intact and the stem didn't snap, so I pulled the whole cage back up and maybe it'll survive.
