the rain started about 7 pm , we had just finished mowing our lawn when the 1st drops of rain pelted down on us . By 7:15 pm it was coming down really hard , our dogwood tree lost a large branch out of the front of the tree & Barb ( our neighbor across the street ) lost a huge limb out of her oak tree . Our pool looked like a giant leaf collection bag , it took us 1 & 1/2 hours to clean everything out of the pool , leaves, sticks , branches & dirt . Our street looks like a war zone with lots of leaves tree parts , etc. scattered all over it . Today the sun is out & hopefully when everyone gets home from work they will begin to clean up their areas so we can get our street back to normal . Looking forward to fall so we can close the pool & turn off the a/c . It's suppose to get down into the 70's by late next week so the a/c will be gone for sure & all the windows will be opened to let the breathe again . 4951
yesterday was nice & sunny & hot , today it's suppose to be the same , but Wednesday we have more storms moving back in the area . The "Old wives tale" says the more it rains in the fall the less snow & ice you will have during the winter "Â . I sure hope they are correct we got over 4.6 inches of rain in one night , some flooding in some areas . Sure glad we got our leak in the basement fixed . 4951
