Thx Rick, a few branches down here too. Lost power from 3-6pm, but it was also a learning opportunity for the 14 yr old. You want internet? Set up the generator! He rose to my expectations - that’s the power of the internet.

Howdy Neil!

We did good Neil, were lots of sticks and small branches laying around, not many power outages, and with a 1/2" of rain there was no flash flooding although there were flash flood warnings out.

How were the storms by the time that they got to you? I hope that they were all petered out by then?

It was so hot and humid My Escape was sweating and I never drove it!

Maybe next week according to the soothsayers we may see 60's at night and only low 80's in the day but the humidity will still be greater than 60%!

Evening Don, So far I haven't had an issue which is unusual because if any one is having a problem I am affected!
