Wham – the winds and the rain were not timid. We have a small plastic hut on the patio for the cats and kittens if they need shelter when the porch is not open. Dennis watched it float to the far northwest corner of the patio.
Of course our porch is flooded. The water from the patio ran over the sill of the doors. We had mentioned that we were in need of new carpet. We will be evacuating most of the contents to get the porch dried out and it would be a logical to do the carpeting at this time.
Our rain gauge holds three inches. It is still raining at 5:15. When Dennis last came in we were at 2.75 inches. Rain waters can be dried out and thankfully we had no damaging winds.
Life still remains good on Stauffer Avenue.
