Saturday, finally got a day to take a short ride - clear skies when I left. Got really wet in a downpour on the way home.
Monday, got absolutely soaked trying to get the lawn mowed. Came in so fast I couldn't get to the barn fast enough.
Tuesday was the killer. We had so much rain there was flooding everywhere. I hear reports from 6-8 inches within 24 hours, 5-6 of it from 7 AM-12 noon. I saw water laying in places I've NEVER seen water. Some of the old timer's said they've never seen water as high around here. Local hardware store flooded with 4-5" all day. Several houses with water up to the doors. Personally, we had water both in the shop at work, and the shop at home, and of course the basement in the house got water. Anybody want some slightly used carpeting? You drag it out, and you can have it... I'm sure it will dry out eventually.....
Thursday, caught in another torrential downpour doing the Father-in-Law's chores in the evening (he had a heart stint put in and is laid up for a few days). Wet again. Had some kind of crazy straight-line winds that took out part of a big crab-apple tree in our back flowerbed.
