Gene Howe 35,434 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Still 93° for the high. The humidity dropped from 27% to 16%, though. Yesterday it clouded up, thundered a bit but we only got about 30 seconds of wind driven mist. I never did like teasers! HARO50, Fred W. Hargis Jr, Larry Buskirk and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post

Watched a Zuni rain dance last summer. Asked one of the tribe if it worked. Her taciturn response was "Sometimes". So, we don't count on rain dances. Edited August 10, 2020 by Gene Howe Fred W.

Larry Buskirk 16,154 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 4:40 PM tornados hopefully have passed, still under severe thunderstorm warnings. The city of Walworth in Walworth County has street flooding due to receiving 5-6" of rain in 1 hour. Camp Lake about 12 miles southwest of us has trees, and powerlines down along with flooding. Still raining real heavy here with strong winds. @Fred W. Hargis Jr want me to send some your way? FlGatorwood 1 Quote Link to post
FlGatorwood 10,103 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Larry, Fred and Dan, I like the temps you folks dealt with last week. I wish we had it that cool. Mowed this yard this past Thursday and mowed the 1.6 acres on Friday. The larger parcel is done on a Toro riding mower so it is not hot nor hard to push. I sit and push or pull sticks. But, in the mid-90's with a heat index in the 100's, it is hard to work. This is air you can wear. It appears we may have activity in the Atlantic Ocean or commotion in the Ocean.

Fred W. Hargis Jr 11,688 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Well, Larry's storm got to us last night about 9:00P. No tornadoes, but we did have 60 MPH winds. That's nothing compared to what they got from it in Hiawatha IA...they recorded 100 MPH+ there. It was a 700 mile track of a derecho....a straight line wind storm. It left a huge trail of wind damage, but by the time it got to us there was no rain! . So we're at a very humid 67º this morning, and no real rain for the next several days.

HandyDan 97,139 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Lots of clouds out there but no prediction for a much need rain. It is cooler. 90s yesterday and mid 80s predicted for today. FlGatorwood 1 Quote Link to post
Larry Buskirk 16,154 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 @Fred W. Hargis Jr, & @HandyDan, Don't know what to tell you guys. It was pretty crazy around here. 66° @ 8:45 AM with humidity of 83%, and a dewpoint of 60°. Forecast high of 82° Have to go out and see if any damage here. There were a lot of trees down a few miles west of us. FlGatorwood and Gunny 2 Quote Link to post
Gunny 59,510 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I have 80F and rain with the sun shining brightly. Larry Buskirk and FlGatorwood 1 1 Quote Link to post
Gene Howe 35,434 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 You guys in the midwest had quite a blow, yesterday. Hope everyone escaped unscathed. We'll be at 92 dry and, boring degrees again, today. FlGatorwood, Gunny and Larry Buskirk 2 1 Quote Link to post
