Yea man we got soaked, not damage but lots of lighting and thunder, just a few seconds of hail, but we got 2.5 inches of rain in about 40 minutes, it was coming down!
Never looked at the rain gauge but we didn’t get much at all. Looked more ominous than it was.
The farm got swamped. Rolled in with the tractor to get things cleaned up for the weekend and it sounded like I was sloshing through the creek bottom.

Very interesting that there are still thousands of homes w/o power - I can't find a solid story on what the heck happened but over the week they got 6,000 back on-line with 3,000 more to go. Guys gotta be getting wore down out on the line....

Well boys I thought that this evening was the end, was outside storms a coming, heard the freight train, trees started swirling, heard a few trees break in the woods. Crazy winds for about 15 minutes, I am talking high gusts, the strongest winds I have seen around here in a long time.
this is a huge tree that blew over right down the road from me, got part of the goat pin but he is ok.

We had storms but most of it was southeast. Wondered if y’all got anything. Damn glad y’all didn’t have any major damage.
Dang the weather was a nice surprise this morning. Gonna be a beautiful weekend!
Unfortunately, we're back to being hotter than a four pecker billy goat all next week.

I drove through the area that had the tornado last week by @RedCloud . That area was pretty torn up. Surprised I didn't hear more about it. Torn up enough that I gave him a call to see if he needed anything. Always depressing when you see an area torn to bits like that.

Thanks for checking in Dave. The main road in Mt Gilead was reopened this morning. Still a few line trucks buttoning up a few poles and lines. All the trees have been cut up and moved off the road and are now at the side of the curb. Missed me by 8 miles Monday night. Driving to work Tuesday in the dark was a trip that's for sure.
