Oh, Sure, It Figures


We put off going home last weekend because it was supposed to rain. It turned out to be gorgeous.

We decided that we are going home this weekend, come hell or high water. We're getting both:
Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1am. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Low around 62. South southeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

Saturday: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 83. South southwest wind around 10 mph. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Saturday Night: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 69. South southwest wind between 6 and 9 mph. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 89. South southwest wind between 6 and 9 mph.

Oh well, it will still be nice to get home and away from the noise and other pollutions here in the city. Have a good weekend. I'm going home now.

  5. The over 100 degrees heat index and the large tree branch that fell and almost took out the house and my sleeping wife.

    Oh, and my birthday.

  6. Well rats! Hope she's ok, not shaken too much. Houses can be replaced, people can not.

    I'd say, all in all, it wasn't one of your better b-days? :/

  7. The branch was about 18 feet long. It came straight down, point first, and hit about five feet from the bedroom. The broken end planted itself eight inches into the ground. About four feet up, the branch broke again, and fell away from the house. If it fell the other way, it would have come through the window.

    My wife didn't even know it was storming until the morning. She is a rather sound sleeper.
