Rain today

Just under a half inch up here, but it appears a tornado may have skipped over the house. We weren't home, but one of our sons and his family are staying with us and he said the whole house shook around 0530 Thursday morning! I always check the cameras when I get up in the morning and I noticed the driveway camera was laying on the ground. It was still dark so I couldn't tell what had happened, so I texted my son to have him look and see what was going on. Daylight revealed that the wind had thrown the 14 foot trampoline against the house, knocking the camera off the eve. The trampoline was chained to a 300 pound BBQ smoker and had concrete blocks holding down the metal legs of the trampoline. It dragged the smoker about 16 feet! Also blew off several shingles from the roof ridge cap and severely mangled the metal chimney cap! I mean bent up the copper shield on the top of it! Besides a lot of Pecan limbs in the yard, everything else seems ok. Wow.

Man, that sounds like you had a REALLY close call!! Could have gone a whole lot worse. Glad there wasn't more damage done.
 
Whoopee. Got 0.10" of rain yesterday. Had some showing on radar here today, but nothing showed up in the rain gauge.
 
Still no rain but a good bit of smoke in South Georgia along I-75 early Friday morning on the trip down this week. Looks like chances are improving but, we'll see. And I hear another cold front is coming down next weekend, so maybe that will shake some rain out of the sky!
 
We are going INTO the dry season already very dry. Hope some idiot doesn't start a fire somewhere and burn down much of the area. That includes the forestry service doing their usual yearly prescribed burns.
