Okay, so small potatoes compared to all of the hurricanes that have hit so far, and the west coast in flames, but still not fun.
A strong front swept through the
other day with 60 mph wind gusts. Trees down all over, power lines down, roads closed. They are slowly getting power back, but over 100,000 were affected in a broad swath from NY into New England.
A couple of months ago a thunderstorm popped up over the area around my house — and just sat there most of the day. It did not move on; it just kept dropping rain. We got almost 5 inches in just a few hours. It was a local event, but it was not fun and there was some flash flooding.
Extreme weather events; prepare to deal with them because they are going to become more common. I have two portable generators, but haven’t got the house wired so they can run critical systems yet — just what I can plug in. Two months from now this would be really bad; at least today is sunny and mild.
