Started out with a heck of a "gust front" and lightening display here with torrential rain, but that blew through quickly. Soiunded severe, but I don't imagine we had naything to severe levels. Gusts may have reached the 40 mph range. Now it is just a little raiin with thunder in the distance. Lost power 3 times, but obviously it is back now too. Back to bed.
Just checked the weatherbug closest to me and we gusted to 53 mph.

We have gotten a deluge this morning. Setting at 4.38", the streets are flooded over the curb and some sidewalks. The creek behind my house almost to the top. Thank goodness the rain is finally slcking off.

The last time I saw our streets flood to this magnitude was Allison. It just goes to show what training can bring.

WOW!!! We didn't get anything near 4.56" of rain. I still haven't checked the guage, but it looks like it is over 2" from where I can look at it without going out in the rain that is still falling here. Didn't see any street flooding. We have a lot of little twigs and smaller limbs down in the area, so I guess the winds did make it up to the 50 mph range. Probably some small hail too from the looks of the debris from the trees and how it is distributed. Jason, sorry about that roof. Now you have to grow some more palms to cover it!!
After the initial storm hit and things settled down(lost power 3 times during it)it was great sleeping weather till 10 am!!!!
