Holy Crap! I can't believe I forgot we started a new month yesterday. That fact slipped my mind completely. I even forgot to flip my Red Hot calendar over to meet the new ginger. Just where was my mind? Well, probably thinking up the rain. Remember when I said Ida was forecasted to pass us to our south? Wrong. That bitch changed her mind and went right over top of us. While doing so, she dropped a lot of torrential rain. A lot. Now I know some of you are wondering just how much a lot of rain is, so I'll tell you. Here in Central PA we received between 6 and 7 inches (152 - 178 mm). I also suspect there are those of you out there thinking to yourselves "between 6 and 7 is about average." Perhaps if your measuring bananas, but when it comes to rain, those figures are humongous. Believe me, I know. I came home from work to find 3 inches of water in my basement.
For those of you who might have difficult imagining between 6 and 7 inches (152 - 178) here are some shots from Central PA.
Your area rain was certainly disastrous. Anyone who doesn’t believe that climate change is here is never going to. Texas has now fallen off the edge of crazy.
ReplyDeleteI worked through most of the storm and at times the rain pounded down on the roof so hard it was difficult to hear. And I thought you knew, everything is bigger in Texas, including stupidity.
DeleteNot to much rain here in Bucks County. I think we had about 5". But tornados were the issue here. One did touch down. Today...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese crazies can block and out law abortion all they want. It will not stop them. There will always be a place to get them done.or another country. Or we will just have more deaths from coat hangers again.
I hope you behaved yourself in my absence?
... Of course I behaved. We had wind after the rain, but not much during the storm. And from what I've been seeing, the Crazies are happy, the GOP on the other hand is having an 'oh shit' moment.
DeleteSorry your basement was flooded. Did it ruin much?
ReplyDeleteNope. Been there, done that about 12 years ago.
DeleteWomen need to rise up and speak up and vote because one day all of their healthcare choices will be made by old white men.
ReplyDeleteIt's flooded before so everything's elevated; the only thing I lost were 2 air filters for the HVAC.
DeleteOh no!
ReplyDeleteHope the basement flooding didn't fuck up anything. I freak out when I hear 'basement flooding' because I live in one.
As for Texas? Ugh. I hope this decision comes back to bite the Repugs in the ass. SCOTUS did nothing because the Ken Doll, the Drunk Rapist and the Opus Dei bitch are there, of course. Elections: they have consequences.
XOXO
The basement dries out fast; water comes in one end and goes out the other. The Republicans have never understood that in a Democracy, pleasing the minority is even an option.
DeleteThat's a LOT of rain. I hope nothing was spoiled in your basement!
ReplyDeleteJust 2 HVAC filters, so I consider myself lucky.
DeleteI hope the disaster in your area ends soon. I followed your blog now. Thx
ReplyDeleteThanks for following! Many had it worse then I, so I consider myself lucky with the little water damage I did receive.
DeleteThat is too much Rain all at once! Hope you were able to pump out the Basement and didn't have anything ruined? As for Texas, they got a lot of Vanilla Isis and Texas Taliban Types there, so it isn't so surprising what's going on... mebbe they should secede from the Nation.
ReplyDeleteVanilla Isis, I do like that. And when you think about it, one zealot is the same as the other.
