Mrs.J

Yes we do! I do not think others know how dry it has been up here for the past two summers. Northern Fred Co. would get the rain and the Southern part would not. That being said drove home in that line that just pushed through here. Wow the car was shaking in the wind. I was more on the southern end and got .34”. Still some light rain and thunder but the line shifted North and Downtown Frederick is getting slammed.

Just turned on the sprinkler to water the grass seed as it is looking like there will be no rain for now.

Wiff here as well. Just got the outflow boundary through here but am thinking that is all I am going to get.

Severe Warned storm heading my way. Will see if it holds.

So who is interested in these…

The backside of the storm down in Montgomery Co from up here

83/80/76 out. Went out long enough to turn on the sprinkler to water my grass seed. I am determined to get it going this time. Younger Ms. J went down to ride early to beat the heat hopefully. Would like to see some rain today but incase it does not I should be covered with the watering.

So just stepped outside to bring in the trash can. It is mostly cloudy but some blue skies visible. But there is a very fine mist falling. Like you can only see it because there is just enough sun peaking through. Very humid out 80/89/77.

Was surprised to see .62” in my gauge this morning.

.41” for me.

Well ours is from a FiberOptics company digging trenches in our yard in January to lay cable. And then just dumping the clay they dig up putting seed and straw down as if that would grow back. It was a neighborhood wide project and they chose for whatever reason not to use the easement.

Absolutely pouring here.

I think you are correct on that. This is nothing like the past two summers here. I am happy for this nice steady rain coming in as we put down lawn patch yesterday in hopes that this rain would pan out.

My oldest just moved from Cathedral Heights. Told her about this from you.

That is funny. Because I have been saying I guess I need to leave my house for it to get rain. I joke about me being a rain/storm deterrent. Some of the craziest weather I have been in for a while out here. Anyone here heard anything about Lovettesville with a lot of tree damage? Have a friend who says they think it was a tornado not seeing anything that would suggest that.

Looked like it shifted just SE of here. Found a traffic cam at 1D and could see suspicious stuff SW of me. Being in a ground level condo I did not have the best view. Would have went out to look but even then would have had to go out to the center of the circle here. So we just found the safest place to be and watched radar. I had been watching the line come in but just as I thought it was going to be fine our phones went off.

Well that escalated quickly. Just got put under a Tornado Warning over here in DE.

So the woman we are pet sitting for here in DE just called and is stuck in Boston overnight. Her flight got canceled into DC. So we will be heading home a bit later than we had planned tomorrow afternoon.

So at home .79” out of that line. Monthly total so far of 9.76” This year has been so different from the last two years. The younger Ms. J has gotten off easy with not having to keep up on watering my deck plants.

Back home is under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. Meanwhile got changed to a Tornado Watch over here in DE. Seems to be Tuesdays for storm days these last 2 weeks.

We ended up not going. Mr. J had woken up early in the morning to a headache that made him nauseous. I suspect the pressure change as at 2 am it started to drop. Went from 1020 down to 1015 by the afternoon. But did joke with him about the Palomarita he had on the boardwalk the day before. We ended up going to a restaurant we wanted to try. Went up to Milton to Po’ Boy and it did not disappoint. Who knew you could get that kind of Creole food in DE!

So we had a causality of the electrical storm last Tuesday. The younger Ms. J had been out doing a pet sitting job and drove home in the storm. She opened the garage door and put her car in. She went to put it down and it would not go down. Found out she had to hold the garage button down to force it down. Also the interior light would not turn off. So I told her to call the guy who installed it. He came out and the sensor eyes had gotten zapped so replaced them. But as for the light not turning off the circuit board in the unit got fried. As the garage door opener was installed when we moved in it is 16 yrs old. He found the circuit board from another guy as the rest of the unit has been working fine in hopes that it is all that is needed. We have a whole house surge protector on our panel but it just must have happened are the exact time that the door was asked to be opened.

Yep light rain just up the way from you in Lewes this morning.

Absolutely beautiful beach weather!

Not too bad. We walked south down the board walk so not as thick as right at the bus drop off. I think we are coming back down tomorrow also. Like you said this weather is amazing for beach weather. We took the bus down to avoid paying high parking.
