Ugliness just a few hours away . . ..

Possible thunder storms, very heavy down pours, winds approaching 50 MPH.

Happy days are here again . . . NOT!!! :roll:

Maybe I can get one quick trip on the XMax around the loop before the first drops make their appearance. :?

Shiver me timbers . . . it's totally on the way with 65 MPH + wind gusts.

If I see a lady riding a bicycle with a carrier basket I'm going to freak! o_O

Holy cow, I don't know who pissed off Mother Nature but she sure let loose yesterday in the Southern part of the United States! Yesterday we were setting up our basement in case a tornado came through during the night. Luckily they missed us, but some states were not so fortunate. I heard that the Louisiana and Mississippi areas were raked with tornadoes. Forget about riding for a little while. The roads will need to be cleared. I think most of our immediate area is OK. I just hope the house we are in the process of buying is.

Be safe out there. If the virus doesn't get you bad weather may!

Mid-afternoon now and the wind is significantly getting more gusty.

The trees are angry.

During a break in the rain I went out and sorted some fallen branches . . ..

I'm just waiting for the power to go out.

I'll be OK though . . . I've still got plenty of chocolate chip cookies! :lol:

Glad that's over! :D

Wow . . . not the worst storm but definitely significant. Not like down south. No tornadoes this time.

Thousands of power outages although I lucked out with just a brief burp in the power.

Tons of sticks to pick up today.

Gusts were indeed well over 50 MPH . . ..

I had to do a minor repair on the fascia (house trim near roof line) as the wind peeled back some sheet metal and a nail popped out. I tucked the facing surface back under the drip edge and it's OK now. Added an extra nail for good measure. The roof was still wet but at least the rain had stopped. I cleared off any loose twigs and debris while I was up there.

On and off precip scheduled over the next 8 days but no wind like we had yesterday.

I felt sorry for the power company workers having to deal with the storm conditions plus the COVID 19 precautions.

That Lady! OldG I saw her. She just blew by...in broad daylight! Riding a bicycle, black gear....Big nose, Fugly 'n nasty laugh. What's that all about? She's on a mission so....heads up maties!

Last night pouring rain. Temps dropped. Burr. Plants covered. Sooo weird for May 8-9.
Today, sun's bright (hel-lo, nice to See you) - winds are relentless - taking things sideways.
Those winds making it cold(er).
Tonight again in the mid 30's.

Wait!.....I think I hear Santa o_O

Raining?

Oh yeah . . . it's raining . . . and no scoot ride today. Winds will be picking up as well. Folks in the northeast will hunker down today.

We have to remember though what goes around comes around. Just ask these folks. :lol:



And then there's those who have it good and are generous . . ..

Again, what goes around comes around. :roll: :lol: 8)

Roads were a little wet first thing, but all the rain's been staying in the clouds since early morning here.

Missed the rain this weekend. Or dodged.

Out on the scooters with the wife on Saturday and then a couple of hours on the bike today by myself.

Perfect.
