Ugh! I don't envy your early snowfall. Yesterday wasn't so great here, though, with 2.28+ inches (5.79+ cm) of rain, most of which fell inside of only one hour. Naturally I was "lucky" enough to be driving across town when streets all over the city flooded with a couple of feet (.61 meters) of water. The engine sputtered and nearly died, and I very nearly floated away on more than one occasion. They always say not to drive thru standing water in the roadway, to turn around and go the other way instead, but I was already on the roadway when the water rose all around me. No matter which way I went, the water kept rising. I almost didn't escape!

Thanks, Mark. I was in the greenhouse in Grand Ledge when the rain hit. I've never heard it pound that loud and long on the roof as it did yesterday! I think a bolt of lightning hit the corner of the greenhouse -- no damage done, but the flash and bang were instantaneous. And very loud and very bright!
My husband was home at the time, and he said it was like that there, also -- the rain, that is. But no damage. The river was so low because of the dry spell that there is little chance of it flooding. The pond is fine, also -- a little high, but draining down the little creek we made to the river. (Actually, the river runs East to West.) I'm glad you are OK, Mark -- that must have been a scary experience. So often you see pictures of cars floating away under such conditions. I'm glad I didn't see you on the news last night. Joanne, your photo made me shudder! |
