I kept a close eye on the storms last night as they were hitting us pretty hard....well, hard for being this far north. Our storms are nothing compared to the whoppers like that one in Texas!
Anyway, I was amazed at the number of Flash Flood Warning boxes that kept popping up on the screen. Some areas in North Dakota were getting over 4" per hour, often with hail. We got a little bit of penny-size hail, but didn't do any damage to the remaining tomato and pepper plants.
Lost power yesterday for several hours. Didn't feel like messing with backup power. Temp inside and outside was comfortable, and was actually nice to have the house totally quiet for a change. Finally decided I'd best get the generator going before dark. Just about that time, the power came back on. Was so noisy in the house that I kinda wished it'd go out again. *lol*
This is one time I wish we had a rain gauge, but still, nothing like what SETX posted. That's just insane! ...And yet another reason I moved away from there! :wink:
SETX -- Ya'll take care down there. Here's hoping no water infiltrated any of those engines!
Oh, one more thing...was watching Youtube videos about the flooding. I love it when they show pics of Clearance signs and then say how deep the water is. It's a HOLE people. Sheesh! All my life been seeing the media try to make a big deal about how deep the water is in holes and low spots, as if water isn't supposed to run downhill. ...What, the water was 16' deep? Well heck, let's dig down a couple more feet. Next time we'll break that long-standing record for sure! :roll: :roll:
