An Update; or The Heavens Poured Again
As you may recall, I wrote about flood, drought, and agony. The drought ended by three days of very severe thunderstorms that ended up dropping somewhere between 15 and 18 cm (6 to 7 in) of rain. The storms knocked down trees and Saturday night a storm caused a power outage that lasted for nine hours. I drove around until I found one tree blocking the roadway with flashing equipment and power lines on the ground. At that point I knew the power would be off for some time. The last storm blew through Sunday. The forecast is calling for more thunderstorms. I spent the day mulching the back veggie garden to get the weeds and grasses under control.
