Stay safe, friends in Tallahassee have gone silent, a little worried about them.

Hopefully the ground will hold on the hillsides! That’s a bunch of water in a short time. Hope the best for all impacted.

The total of rain was 10" ,It stopped at 3pm. Thank God.
I have been on genny power since 10:30 am yesterday .

That will take a while to dry out. No working the fields anytime soon! Maybe we should be glad it wasn’t snow!

I'm very glad it's NOT snow !!
I was saying that to someone else. and they said they wished it was snow!
I said NFW ! 10 feet of snow.. Who the hell would wish that !
Worrying about a roof ! Yeah NO.. Then once 10 feet melt you have flooding any way . That all makes a fold issue..

Give me the rain I can deal with that living on a mountain.

Us silly folk from warmer climates have tv/movie-induced idealistic fantasies about living where it snows

Yeah, it’s all that for maybe 30 minutes. Then life sets in and it just becomes another pita to deal with.

I'm H A P P Y !!! The power is back..
I put all the cords away and even move the genny to the shop.
It came back on at 7:30 pm !

That’s good to hear. I’m afraid the folks south of you will be without power for a while. Hopefully the crews will have good luck getting it restored quickly.

Cooled off here for a couple of days, now the "Heat Advisory" is on the news all over.
92 today and forecast for 104 tomorrow.

I think the media just likes scaring everyone. 92? really? I mean Furnace Creek is going to be 111 degrees today. That's hot.

Power is out again this morning.. Genny is hard at it..
Here's a video of my bridge 3 h after the water had receded on Friday late afternoon .
If it wasn't for Jason we might have lost our bridge.
He went down during the storm and cleared it with his excavator.

When he called me this morning , I again Thanked him...

WOW! Stay safe back there please.

Fall is starting................ right?

But where?

It's 59* this morning..
