Golly gee, more rain? At eight all the phones started ringing with the automated weather warnings. I was awake and aware that there was thunder in the distance. Dennis beat feet it out to close the patio doors of the porch and I knew it was a good time for me to get my feet on the floor and take in what was going on. The winds were horrific driving the rain to an extreme.
The end result was another three inches of rain. From what we could tell by a quick glance through the windows, we had no branches . . . or trees down in our yard. The city crew came and pushed a tree out of the street just to the south of us. From the newscasts, the west portion of St. James got the brunt of the damage.
Highway #4 already had a detour and now there were power poles on the streets making for an even more difficult detour.
Oh my gosh. This is the third rain of the three inch mark in the last weeks. Oh how thankful we are that we put the new floor into the porch. Yes, the concrete under it is damp, but we can enjoy the porch. All fans, ceiling and floor are running and the garage doors are open to allow for great ventilation.
Dennis and I are thankful for a safe home after several storms that have brought damage to others here in town. Let’s hear it for tile around the basement to keep the sewing studio dry!
