Water is being blown out of the gutters that can't drain thanks to all the pinestraw now clogging the drain areas. And now it's thundering. I'm surprised we still have power but it will go out before this is over. I'm thankful we're not on a huge lot all by ourselves in the middle of nowhere with nothing to block some of the wind.

Hoping you make it out unscathed, my friend.  You got this!!

Thanks!! 

Man, I think we got a year's worth of rain today. Crazy amount of rain. And let me say, tall pine trees and scrub oak trees swaying in 30-45mph winds with gusts close to 65mph within striking distance of your house is butt puckering. We've had tropical systems here before but never the wind gust speeds I saw today. And somehow we did not lose power. A few brownouts but nothing stuck. PTL. 

I can't say I've ever seen water fly out of gutters or fly sideways in high speed wind gusts. Quite interesting to see. I'm glad it's over. We'll, it's still raining somehow but it's a light rain. I just hope everyone else around here is okay. 

I feel for the homeless population because this county refuses to acknowledge there are homeless folks and there are no shelters opened for them. But that's a different conversation.
