We had a fun storm last night. An estimated 60mph/100kph straight line winds and heavy rain. It was amazing just how much you notice a wind storm like that even in the middle of the forest. The rain was nearly horizontal coming through the yard. Even though it rained like a cow pissin’ on a flat rock, I have no idea of what the rainfall was. Because you don’t get much rain in the guage when it’s nearly horizontal.

Anyway, the power was also out from about 6:30ish pm to 4am this morning. But the boys from our electric co-op (all 6 of them) must have busted their balls all night to get things running again.

And now there is a heat advisory for today and tomorrow. Highs in the mid 80s and the wet bulb is at 80. The AC is going to get a real workout today.
