Tell me the "weather" where you live.

I suspect some really strong storms are likely. Had a few isolated ones that did some damage back where I used to live. locally just some needed rain overnight.

And they just put out a flash flood warning for our area. The dam that is going to breech has seen 7 inches of rain since last week when Beryl came through.

And it just keeps getting better. This is the garage I park in... all the way at the bottom... 3 levels under ground.



The tunnel from the hospital to the garage always leaks when it rains hard. The tunnel actually goes into the 2nd underground level, but the garage itself stays dry. My staff did go down to make sure the lower level, where staff park, was fine.

Visitors and patients have a nice elevated glass bridge that takes them to the garage. The flooded tunnel is only staff. Or at least it was.

3 days in a row with 2 to 6 inches of rain up here N-Illinois, all rivers flooding, people and homes swept away, last 2 nights tornado warnings, one sighted close to us, never touched down, son and daughter (different towns) without power for 2 days, son lost a large tree, crazy, I've had to drain down my pool 3 times, rest of the week looks calm, just hot and humid, might extend my wintering in Florida to spring and summer also might be cooler

EDIT: and we had an earthquake 40 miles away this morning

And will be removing Illinois from near future travel list...

You can send a little of that rain down to MS, but hold on the earthquake

Absolutely no reason to visit Illinois, Chicago is a death trap and high gas taxes, southern Illinois is basically Kentucky or Missouri @Teamubr can probably agree, not sure how to hold an earthquake, any tips

Tn has been super hot. High 90's with feel like 107. And we are in a drought. Hopefully that pattern breaks today and tomorrow.

 

[jbrostek]

@2goofycampers VA is in a drought warning too. The past few days have produced some rain, but we need several slow soakng inches over the course of weeks to recover properly. Friends are heading to anchor down next month, curious if the water levels there are affected or does enough flow to keep levels up.

 

[Teamubr]

Team Bradfield can sympathize with the rain, but this was just from yesterday. Nashville, IL where the dam failed had already received 7 inches of rain since last week from Hurricane Beryl before another 6+ yesterday. I live northwest of there a bit, but we still had 3-4 inches here. The "official" reading for STL is at the airport. They only got 1.86 yesterday, but that still puts the official month at 360% over normal.

They were wrong, again. It was 94 and NO rain. Maybe today?

 

[2goofycampers]

Still no rain. We are in a severe drought. But it's cooler.

 

[jbrostek]

We gotta a couple of T-storms and tomorrow they say some showers due tonight and morning. Not enough to take us out of drought though anything helps.

 

[bama_ed]

Yesterday in central Alabama we started a 10-day cycle of highs in the 80s, kinda humid, and greater than a 50% chance of rain showers daily (usually late in the afternoon).



Given the temp shouldn't get over 90F for that long a spell, I'll take it.

[2goofycampers]

High of 77 yesterday and a few sprinkles. Nice day.

 

[Stratman50th]

Ugh...Tornado Warning now. Alert woke us up at 5:45 with a Tornado warning. That's two in two hours. I don't mind the hurricane, just lots of rain and wind at the moment. It's those damn tornados!

 

[hertamaniac]

We are getting wave after wave of rain/wind bands. So far, no tornado warnings (which are terrifying to me). It's going to be a long day.

 

[jbrostek]

Sounds like by the time it makes it here it will at least try to put a dent into our drought. We are still on drought warning and voluntary restrictions in N. VA

 

[2goofycampers]

How did our Floridian friends make it through Debby?

 

[Stratman50th]

How did our Floridian friends make it through Debby?

It rained off and on during the day yesterday. Wind wasn't much of a thing really, we get thunderstorms with higher winds. We were still getting the occasional shower till at least 11:00 when I went to bed. I just finished a walkaround of the house and it looks like we only lost one palm frond! LOL. Curious to see how full all the retention ponds are. Three months ago some of them were just mud on the bottom. We came out very well this time. This was really a rainmaker, not so much wind. The Gulf coast really got hit hard with flooding. Hope they can get put back together. That is all from downtown Polk City Florida!
Signing off for now.

My neighbor had a tree branch take down part of his chain link fence. Me? My 3-month-old cactus plant, although growing like crazy, is now laying down. I'm going to have to get some wooden dowls to support it as this is the 3rd time it's fallen over.

Lots of smaller branches down on the roads, but nothing really dangerous.
