Glad to hear you are are OK Adam! My BIL, Eyespy on here, totaled his truck Tues. AM driving up from home to the boat dock and hit a downed tree. He's OK, truck not so much I'm hearing.

I about did the same thing driving to work Tuesday morning in the pre dawn hours. Had a tree that was in the middle of the state route. Glad it was only covering half the road and the only lines in the way where phone companies. Sucks his truck is totaled but I'm glad to hear he's OK

We just got blasted by a good one. Power is out, lots of pea sized hail, 3/4” of rain in 15 minutes. Before it was gone the cell cams started lighting up.
@Spencie what part of the state are you in? I was driving home to Athens last night from Dublin (had a work training day at our Dublin site) and drove through the nastiest storm I have ever driven through. It was like driving through a washing machine. I couldn't see much, and the wind was rattling my Jeep like crazy. I was doing 40mph on US33 and that didn't feel completely safe. I ran out of it 10 minutes before I got home and called home to tell my wife to buckle up, it's coming. We got belted. Our power stayed on until about 40 minutes after it passed, then went out. It just came on 20 minutes ago, and it was out for roughly 14 hours. I've been cleaning up downed limbs again. We have some sweet gum trees out back and one of them had the 3 top pieces all busted out of it last night. Our brush pile has blown up in the past two weeks.
Our tree that got it last night.
Brush pile is now taller than me. All of the leafy stuff is from the past two weeks or so. Our trees have been taking a pounding.

Our line crews got the first call at 1645 yesterday right after it blew through. They were pulling back into the lot at 0615 this morning when I clocked in. Rough night

Same storm. I am in Washington county between Belpre and Marietta. I am also tired of tree cleanup duty.

They’re calling for a dry spell the next week with a slight chance of some precipitation on Sunday. We’re all gonna have to water our gardens some I reckon.

I'm working between Belpre and Marietta off of rt7 and was still at work when that storm hit yesterday. Little wind and rained hard for about 10 minutes. Weird how just over the hill the storm can be so different.

Veto Road (Cty 3) was a disaster after that went through. It crosses the hill you just mentioned. Very strange

Yeah guy just replanted about an acre of corn in one of my lower fields on Friday, neighbor texted this evening and said we prob lost it again. Guess it will go into fall plot at this point.

Basically the whole county. The core of storm rode NW to SE from Beverly to Belpre. I haven't looked it up yet, but this has to be a Top-10 rainy June ever. It was bone dry in places that had standing water today. My garden can't win.

My place is east of the city. Haven’t been down there but haven’t gotten any neighbors calling me so that’s a good sign. Better sharpen my saw and make my way down in the next day or so.
