Looks like in a few days.

Yeah, it's headed here tonight and tomorrow. Looks like you have plenty of good firewood in a couple years.

This happened here with Hurricane Sandy now over a decade ago. The devastating effect of that storm gave us a 13 day run of no power and roadways closed from downed trees and wires. Our firewood reserves are just dwindling down but I usually cut and split 2 cords a yr to dry. I have a sense of humor and it was refreshing to see others did as well. This was about 7 weeks before Christmas …finally built the log splitter I had been procrastinating on for 30 years

The best part of the storm when it passes is that you all are safe

 

[scrapdaddy]

Nice job on the splitter!

We need rain, but not all at one time, just a steady rain here.

Wow. Are the duck's still floating?

 

[greenbeast]

Front pond filled up pretty quick. Of course I’ve hired dozer to double size of the front pond since it was almost dry a few days ago.

Ducks enjoying the full pond.

Here in Dittmer we got 9" and some are saying up to 11". Rivers are all flooded and some roads are washed out. Sad to say, but some people have lost their lives in the floods. First the drought then flash floods, what a mess.

 

[bobm]

Are you guys O.K.

 

[scrapdaddy]

We're fine, Bob. House is on high ground, but the barn got flooded pretty good. Goats hate getting wet.

I left work couple hours after getting there yesterday. More rain was coming and one of the roads to get to town was flooded when I left for work and when it floods it backs up the other road to leave.

Went home to make sure I could get home. Thankfully we didn’t have anymore flooding.

Hate to hear anyone losing their life for sure, sad stuff.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Jerry good too. Geez hoped I spelled dat right

Jeri, but I won't spill the beans. She's fine, but upset. Nobody could get home to the grandson, because of the flooding. He's fine, had the run of the house to himself (thirteen)

 

[Pigeaten]

He was happy!

You guys got 40% of our season total, in 1 storm. We need 1 of those a year to fill lakes and reservoirs

Don, it was as full as I’ve ever seen it. Not far from going over top of the dam.
