Jeez o'pete this is getting beyond nuts in our house. The weather alert has been going off since 2 this morning, now our phones are going nuts with flash flood alerts.

At noon EMA made an announcement to stay off the roads if at all possible due to flooding. They want to keep them as clear as possible for rescue personnel.

And here comes the rain, lightening and thunder once again.

Oh, I failed to mention our dogs go bezerk when all of these alarms go off and the thunder happens.

As far as flooding goes where our house is? Not a concern at all. I just hope others that we know are as fortunate as we are.

It's frosty this morning but the temp is suppose to go to 70 later.I've been sitting here watching the wild birds collect feathers in the front yard.They seem to prefer the goose feathers.The ground is frozen but the robins are out there feasting on worms,I don't know how they do it.

Brilliant day! Got my spuds in the ground and about half my onion plants before my back started screaming.
It's going to be sunny tomorrow too so hopefully peas, beets and spinach...

It was 90 here yesterday. But after talking to my daughter I don't feel so bad. She's near Louisville ky, and in shorts and found out yesterday that her AC doesn't work. She also finds a leaky water faucet outside and they discover it's been doctored up with paper as a washer! Since they have 2 40 gallon water heaters in the basement I told her she might as well get them replaced now too since one of them needs the red reset button pushed on occasion. She'd be better off with just one water heater.

For the most part, yes. We get the sea breeze from the Atlantic and it drops our temps down. However when it meets up with the Gulf sea breeze it usually means big thunderstorms. It happens often. When we dont get a sea breeze, the air is stagnant. Just plain hot and humid.
Do you get the Gulf breeze and storms also?

It wasn't a down pour,just a steady rain.Just enough to ruin the day for everybody except the geese.Back in 2013,it rained so much I couldn't get in the garden,I sunk to my knees and lost a boot(it's still buried out there somewhere).On top of that,the farmers couldn't harvest their crops.A year or two later we had a drought and everything in the fields died.
