What is your weather like ... today

[j.w]

Plain old rain and 54f. Waiting for a break!

 

[Mike in Vermont]

We got an inch of rain last night. My county was in a severe drought status. It still is pretty bad. Heavy rain has been going either north or south of my county all summer. I know it will balance out so i'm not concerned. I would rather water the gardens vs have them over watered. The ponds would appreciate more rain, though.

If you live at the top of a hill, you are subject to wildfire hazards.

We don't have any big trees close enough to worry about wild fires.

sometimes mud slides can happen if you live at the top of the hill also

No mud slides here, we are a bit of clay with a ton of rock. I have not even seen my ponds rocks walls shift with all this wet.

per Florence, if it hits us it will be rain rain rain, which we don't need. Still saying landfall will be the Carolinas, MAYBE!

My county was in a severe drought status.

And we are in a severe wet status! geez!

Sun is making an appearance right now! I thought we were gonna have another t-storm but guess it is holding off till later. 63f.

I am up on a hill and mud clay and shale but things can happen .That scares me .Almost done mowing and went grocery shopping and now it is raining again .2 strips left and I would have been done ,but no it had to start raining hard

Well it appears we are Florence safe, it is heading further south. My thoughts and prayers to all of you in its path!
We might get some rain, the bay will have a storm surge, but nothing like they are predicting for the Carolinas.

They have on the news our task force is heading down to south Carolina with supplies, search dogs, boats to help with the rescue missions.

We are well prepared and hunkered down at home. Generator and gas ready to go, all supplies gathered, fish tanks had 95% water changes yesterday, our 4 cats have no idea what is coming. I will be very scared but will hopefully be fine. I will let you all know how it goes here, 35 mi. west of Morehead City and Atlantic Beach NC. Our neighborhood is not in a flood zone thank heavens.

So you don't have to evacuate @BarbO ? Stay safe and hold on! Praying all goes well for you. Keep in contact if you can.

 

[sissy]

started to rain and darn it I was pulling weeds all morning .Got in the groove and then rain .Oh well everyone stay safe and hope all goes well .

 

[mrsclem]

Our thought has always been, if you are totally prepared then the storm will miss you! Not expecting more than a lot of rain and maybe some wind now. Ponds both netted with leaf netting, filters flushed and water levels dropped. I pulled out the generator for the ponds but it seems the mice got into the shed and built a nest next to the exhaust so will work on that tomorrow. Totally recovered from concussion I got trying to net the ponds Monday. Time to sit back and wait for Florence.

Prayers go out to everyone in sever weather or in hurricane preparation mode. Clear sky's here on our way home from vacation, just lots of salt.

 

[sissy]

how true mrsclem and have not checked the new update because I just came in from doing yard work and cleaning the pumps on the pond .I have to check in on the weather channel but last I saw it was heading southwest and will hit Georgia also .

Rained on and off all day, low 70s. To anyone in the path of the incoming storm may you all remain safe and unharmed. Some incredible people who work in the South Carolina aquarium have moved all their turtles to higher ground, volunteer staff will then remain in the aquarium to ride out the storm and see to the safety of its aquatic inhabitants, in my eyes they are brave. Tanks have been covered, water and food for the animals is stocked, and these volunteers will care for the animals. @BarbO be safe.
