Thunderbolts and lightning.
Jun. 23rd, 2015 09:07 amAlmost four hours of near-continuous lightning does not make for restful sleep. Add in 'torrential' rain and occasional wind gusts to 70mph, and it gets even less restful.
Nothing down in the yard, although a lot of stuff in the flower gardens is listing, and I hear a couple of chainsaws going in the area. The corn in the field behind the house is listing. The pond is overflowing The debris field in the easement is about 50ft out from the culverts -- last week's storm left a 25ft field. We have had years when there's been no water in the easement, so that was a lot of water. The power did not go out for any appreciable amount of time, so there's that. (yay for underground lines.)
Last night's FCB concert was cancelled. While it would have happened between storms, it was probably a good idea to cancel it -- the performance area is a lawn, and it would have been wet and squishy, and setting up 80+ chairs on it and having people walk back and forth would have done some damage to it.
