What a bizarre day.
Last night we tried to leave the windows open as it was cooler, but by midnight they were closed again because of the air quality. This morning Little Wonder and I took it easy while Gary went for coffee and delivered some onions. (A serious storm was predicted for this afternoon).
When he got back I left for Wegmans. It was grey outside but dry.
Half an hour later, I was ready to leave and yikes!
None of us wanted to venture out and were waiting for it to settle down. Well it didn't, so I grabbed a Wegmans umbrella and headed for my car.
Just when I got there the water was over my shoes.
Gary was kind enough to grab the groceries when I got home.
We had another new hibiscus blossom today and the other three had faded.
Eventually I got outside to grab a better shot.
LW was on high alert with all the thunder and lighting. By 2:30 there had been many warnings on my phone and we turned on the tv to see what they were saying. The word was.....get to your basement or the lowest part of your house....tornado warning! For over half an hour we were waiting for it to get by us and it did. They removed the alert notice but announced that there was severe flooding all over the place. We had gotten 4 1/2 inches of rain in a little over two hours.
By 5 o'clock it was pretty quiet and Gary grilled some corn and chicken.
This morning he picked the rest of his onions so they would not get soaked.
Dinner was simple and delicious,
By the time we finished eating the sun started to come out. Now it is cooler, but muggy again.
Hopefully we will catch a break tomorrow.
Night all.
