We Dodged It Again !

We just got the all clear a short while ago.  There were funnel sightings, hail, and heavy wind all around us but we came through ok.  The same thing happened Thursday morning.  Yesterday it was wild down by Mindy.  I guess we're now getting what they've been getting south of us for a while.  I hope it's going to be ok for the rest of the night but it does look like there's more coming in from Minnesota.  It just keeps on coming.  We had 1-1/2 inches of rain between 3:30 and 4:30.  That's on top of a half inch on Friday, 2-1/2 inches and a half inch a day or so before.  Lots of areas are having flooding right now but thankfully I live high enough so that won't be a problem, even though there are puddles all over my lawn.  It shows me where the low spots are.  I'll keep praying that it's over for the day.


Mindy, how are you doing?  I see that your county is still under a tornado warning and there's some pretty heavy stuff in your area.

Oh my, you did get it worse than here. So far it's sunny and humid here, haven't had the nerve to look at the forecast yet.

Yup it was bad last night - makes it hard to sleep. It looked like a typhoon out there.
