News man just said there's a flash flood watch in effect after 12 noon today. Predicted 2" of rain by Friday. This one is supposed to bring damaging winds.
Yep, and now it's after Noon. Clouding up but no rain yet in G-berg. Bigger swath of rain comes later this evening, it appears. I don't think the ground will be dry till next year.
Putting on our metal roof today...kept watchin radar...it said we are good till 2:30 -3:00...by golly...they were right....looked at 2:00 n seen what was comin...enough time to gather up n cover everything just about in time. Looks like friday until we can start again...sun shinin now..but too late in tbe day to do anythin now..
Rained pretty good for a while in Hanover today. Not sure how much but we did get some here @ home. Looks like Chambersburg is getting hammered right now. Hope the mountain knocks it down a bit..
Bucks County here. OK water-wise. I just want to say this weather is why I can't wait for the Summer to end. Hot, humid and a chance for rain every day. I only want the rain when it's a cold front coming to drive the humidity out.
The worse is headed strait for my area. I can handle the water, it's the wind that makes me nervous. If it knocks out electricity, I have to get the gas powered pump ready to keep my basement dry. And also have to worry about my huge maple coming down on my house.. wish I could climb! It's been thinned twice but it's due again.
Hey....we are in the same boat....we are gettin hammered with rain....wind not too bad yet....hope my tarpps don't blow off the roof.
Another 1.5" this afternoon and more overnight and tomorrow morning. I have a "tree guy" coming tomorrow morning to give me a quote to drop 6 mature trees that are close to the house/power line. I want to get the trees removed before replacing my roof.
We've been getting swamped! 2" in the past 2 days and this evenings storm is dumping it on us good right now.
I went back down to spot where those flooded road pics... pretty much dried up, but skeeters.... ive never seen them like this before. My skin feels like an avacado. I blew my nose and skeeters came out of my sinuses... literally hundreds would be on u at all times. The things i do to kill those teeny sika deer we have lol!
In MI we lucked out, at least here, this week and got a total of 1.7" of rain and it was very welcome.
I had a partial stack colapse and another that’s about to go. The rain softened the ground so much, 1/2 of a skid runner sunk the whole way into the ground. Pics to come.
I will not like that statement! I think if we hadn’t stacked it so well, it would have fell. Spent a good 3 hours+ fixing it this morning. Boy is it smoldering hot!
That had to be a lot of work. I have some stacking to do shortly and hoping it will cool off a bit before I start. Will probably do the splitting that needs to be done first but I have already a bunch of split wood that has just been waiting for me to stack it.
DANG IT! This stupid hot wet weather killed one of my sheep this weekend and several others are sick. Hot and wet leads to problems with stomach worms in sheep. They can die within 1-2 weeks and frequently don't show much if any signs until they keel over. We learned this the hard way. Working on nursing the rest back to health. I sure hope we get some cooler drier weather soon.
