I guess Houston got hammered, they're saying some folks won't have power for weeks. I can't imagine living in Houston without ac even this time of year.

It actually used to be 200 year old flood plains. My how things are changing.

It was looking like it could get down right nasty around Franklin between about 2pm to 6pm tomorrow.

Yes it is weird how some people living in the same location have been through several of them already!

It rained very intensely here near Augusta for about 15 minutes, then stopped just as soon as it started.

Easy peezy. Commissioner’s, Developers and Insurance companies rolling back the rules. More than likely the COE had to approve.

Worse in some areas. We got about an inch in 30 minutes and some heavy winds. I have a tree to get off the driveway this morning. Neighbors within a mile or so have multiple trees down in their yard and some on their house.

Strong thunderstorm with heavy rain thunder and lightning passing thru Cherokee county. Winds were pretty strong too.

Yep, it got dark here before it hit, plenty of wind with it. Just light ran now TJay.

I got a bunch of leaf litter in the yard but no trees down that I can see. As wet as the soil is trees can uproot and fall over pretty easy. As soon as the rain quits I need to check my garden. Looks like some of my peppers are laid over.

Supposedly it starts here tonight with thunderstorms, but they've call for the same thing since Wednesday

When it hit I thought gardners are going to suffer from this.

Did ya'll get any hail? I didn't notice any thank goodness.

No and it’s getting bright here, this is about finished.

 

[WOODIE13]

Y'all might get some of this.

So far, it's flip a coin, roll some dice, toss some chicken bones while hungover...oh, 10% chance of precipitation
