Had about a solid hour where it sounded like we were living in a waterfall, amazing amount of rain. Pool overflowed hours ago. There’s three or four feet of water in the front yard/swale and several inches over the road. Right now we’re between bands so it’s a bit calmer. Had two more brown-outs. Tornado’s have been seen in the area, Barefoot Bay away south of here had over fifty homes damage by a twister.

Two Pictures & a Video:

First picture is looking out the front door at the new lake. The second picture shows the whirlpool leading down to the storm drain that clearly can’t handle the volume.

Raining like a son of a gun out there. Wind’s up to 15 - 25 mph and gusting higher.
Couple feet of water in the swale out front.

Light rain and a little wind so far. The wind chimes have reminded me they’re out there and will probably need to come in before the day is over the hanging plants are… mum. We’ve already had three brown-outs. Way to go ‘Florida - Flicker & Flash‘!

Hawk (somebody, invent weather control, quick!)
