  1. Damage Report from last night’s storm 1. Umbrella gone, just gone 2. Skimmer baskets full of leaves, pool bottom covered in leaves (about a dozen), pool robot is going to earn its pay today! 3. .44” of rain, so close to massive flooding, if we would have 15x that we would have had massive issues, dodged a huge bullet…though grass continues its slow march to desertification. all told, not to bad…we will rebuild, better and stronger!
  2. Arghh. Looks like crap. Round 2 better produce….off to water flowers
  3. 96, I can hear Thunder in the distance, radar looking good…come on baby, I don’t want to water the flowers today!
  4. Yeah, our kid is 15 now so no need to go to those 5 hour b meets, we drop him off and pick him up now…at the stage where it’s not cool to have your parents there…fine by me. And his age group is packed with talent this year so no A meets so far, last Saturday they started the A meet at 7:30, that was a 5:00 am wake up call…no thanks!
  5. Ahh the relay carnival. So fun! So sad to miss it this year… ok that's a lie. And they always seem to be plagued by storms for some reason. My horror story from a couple of years ago…hot clear day with some way off Thunder heads building. Someone claims to hear Thunder, check the radar, nothing within 60 miles, check the old lightening array, nada. 45 minute delay….we get back, warmups start, Thunder storms now moving closer. I for sure now hear thunder soft roll, apparently I am the only one. Another one, still no call…then one unmistakable boom and everyone starts to scatter. That’s was it, last Thunder another 45 minute delay and back to the race. Never even rained.
  6. 102…HI of 115. Surely the hottest since 2012!
  7. 101.5, HI 113 hit the local Custard Shack, actually called ‘Custard Shack’ Place was deserted, guess we are the only fools that wanted Ice Cream.
  8. I just saw a cloud pop up over the river…didn’t last long
  9. I have a tempest! Love it. Great customer service. It blew off the pole and landed on concrete and broke. They replaced it for free!
  10. Just got a lightening detection, 21-23 miles away! Sure enough, something popped near great falls. 99 now, feels like 110
  11. 98.5 and still rising at my house. Gonna need ice cubes for the pool at this rate…
  12. Whatever it was, just passed to my east, a breeze kicked up from dead calm… clouds are booking
  13. If anything happens it’s coming right over the neighbors house. Neglible wind.
  14. Yeah. Washing out. Pouring rain so anything would be rain wrapped. Thunder is impressive
  15. Tempted to run over to the river to see if something happens…looks like it’s headed right for fort washington
  16. Seems to be moving right along that line of bearing I just posted
  17. Interesting. Seems to be heading my way, will see what happens, lots of thunder
  18. That's OK, October often feels like July lately!
