Howdy Don!

Today was hot and humid no rain, the rain will come in buckets Tuesday and Wednesday with tropical storm Christobol taking aim at us.

I'd send it to you but its heading for Canada where it will peter out. We're suppose to have torrential downpours here.

Hope that you didn't loose power today or have any trees fall near you?

Not loosing power is good but don't need half a tree falling near your truck or house.

Did you check to see if you still have all of your shingles on the roof?

If you need a new roof its better to let your insurance cover it.
