    Holy cow! Looking at that reminds me that my roof dumped in a big way. Normally it just drops a bit at a time, and it goes straight down. I heard and felt the huge rumble and the snow crashed down (hmm, now that I think of it, did that happen while the earthquake was going on - maybe). Anyway, at the end of the day when I went to feed the birds again, I noticed that it got enough speed going that instead of straight down, it vaulted 5-6 feet.

    55 +/- hours on generator so far.
    I'm very happy that I went with a diesel generator. Lots of neighbors are running low on propane. My tank still has about 100 gallons in it or roughly 180-200 more hours of run time. 20240404_082533.jpg

    Sounds like a friend I know in the Newfield area. He's running a propane fired Generac. Dedicated tank. He can go 6 days before becoming concerned.

    Good luck to all of you that have storms and tornados spinning around.

    When I got home, I drove by the gauge, there was just under an inch in there, that was around 5:15ish... Had been monsooning since. Finally slacked off enough to take the dog out before bed, around 10:20 or so. The top measurement line on my gauge is 5.5 inches, the water is over that and about 1/2 inch from overflowing. Radar shows it finally exiting. I will try to get an idea of our total in the am...well at least what I can measure with what's in the gauge.
