>>>The only time I’d seen harder rain was in a hurricaine. I don’t want to see it again either.<<<
LOL, I may get to see one next week if Bill doesn’t break North - hope it does, and then goes East out to sea missing all landfall, otherwise upcountry miss may get it, and I think they have had enough rain for one summer...
If they skirt up the coast, we usually get quite a bit of water piling up on the shore and marshes from the wind, but most of the heaviest rains are in the NE quadrant of the storms.
My Trucker’s Favorite heirloom yellow sweet corn is 10-12 feet tall and just coming into tassel - too much wind could really tear it up.
Will just have to wait and see...
Busily buttoning up “just in case.” With the cold, rain, tomato blight, ground hogs, and deer, I am still loading up friends and relatives with our garden surplus, which tells me what I already knew-I plant way TOO much and hubby just plowed up another plot!!!
Will be taking a short hiatus, but will try to catch up whenever possible.
Our weather has been cursed for the last year.
September we had an inland hurricane...Tracked right up the Mississippi and then met a major storm moving west to east..Had straight line winds 60-80mph for 4 hours. We had 150k+ people with out power for more than 2 weeks. Untold number of trees down and tree snapped off.
In February we had a colossal ice storm across the whole state. Had 500k+ across the state without power for 2 weeks or more.. More trees down.
July we sent records for new low temperatures.
August was the flood.
We have had wind and water.. I'm getting scared about fire and earth. We are on the New Madrid fault.
