The remnants of Hurricane Ivan moved through this afternoon. The temperature shot up from low 70’s to mid-90’s, and it was windy and muggy. It wasn’t until 3:30, though, before it actually began to rain here.

My rain gauge showed a rate of 4 inches per hour during the torrent! Overall, we got six tenths of an inch here. It seemed like much more, but the deluge moved quickly with the strong winds pushing it along.

I hope it stays moist for the next three weeks, so I don’t have to water my new lawn. And maybe next weekend, we can keep the wind and skip the rain, since that’s when we go to the lake again.
