Cindy in FL. Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Over 10 inches of rain in the last 21 hours and still counting! Some wind and lightning but nothing too bad. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 We are still under a tornado warning, but it should end soon. There was some minor flooding along the sea wall in the late afternoon and our roof is leaking a bit in the living room. But the storm seems to be passing now and no major damage in our area.

Starr Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not fun. I hope it blows over soon and you get some rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroe1 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The toughest part has been getting the dog out for a wee. The 60mph gusts just blow her right over. The pool pump has worked overtime. I'm thankful that a few months ago I put in a French drain where the pool pump drains. But the pool level is rising anyway. I don't think it will flood over, however. The pool cage has taken the brunt of the wind, but so far, I haven't seen any tears or areas of loose structure. We are lucky in that our town has a massive water control system that pumps out runoff into the lakes. That seems to be holding as well with no flooding, but the lakes are still about 1 ft. higher than normal. The road drains are holding so we only have flooding on the sides of roads. Our town was built with large divots on the sides of all the roads, so there's plenty of water space before the roads will flood. I hope everyone else is doing well. We may have a few more days of this. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I really want to buy groceries, but I don't want to get drenched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I just went out and checked my rain gauge and, even though I'm in NE FL, we got 4.5 inches over night. Holy cow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I just went out and checked my rain gauge and, even though I'm in NE FL, we got 4.5 inches over night. Holy cow! I'm in the same area....crazy rains we've been getting! We're supposed to go to a birthday party this morning across the river, but I'm not sure I want to get out in this. Yikes!

Mom-ninja. Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 My yard is basically a swamp. One of our well pipes broke, and the ground is so wet and filled with water that dh can't dig up the pipe to fix it. So we have no running water in the house. I have to send the boys out in the rain to fill up buckets from the well. I told dh to get a mask and snorkel so he can dive into the massive puddle to fix the pipe! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofpumpkins Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 We are just getting lots of rain; the wind hasn't been too bad here. We lost power for a few hours last night, but it's back on. I'm supposed to go grocery shopping today, but I need to check the radar before deciding for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflowerlady Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yucky and wet from constant rain. There are some areas of flooding but I don't think there is any major damage locally. We are not getting any wind from the storm at this point, just endless rain. The news said the storm is still just sitting there.:glare: So, it will be raining for the next few days apparently.
