We've got one more band to get through.

It doesn't look as bad as the first, a little more scattered and a lot less red.

It really did rain down here, thunder and lightning, but the only wind was just before the rain started. It kicked up pretty good but it was all straight line wind and just dropped small branches and twigs.

On the other hand, the county paved our street - raising the level substantially - and now all the rain misses the storm drain and shoots straight down our driveway.

Luckily there's a low place in our drive halfway to the house . . . otherwise we would have been shoving the runoff out the door with brooms!
