I hope Mike is OK, down there in TX. Looks like the latest one is busting loose in his neighborhood. He may need to invest in an ark too.

We had some pretty strong wind here today along with heavy rain. The next door neighbor knocked on the door and told me that the wind broke a limb (the size of a 40' tall tree) on my oak tree and it was dangling over their driveway right next to the carport like the Sword of Damocles. (just imagine a tree hanging upside down over your driveway by a sliver of wood)
When the rain died down we hooked a rope to the tip and pulled it with his truck until it broke clean so that it fell without it crashing into the house or the fence (thank heaven that went according to plan!), and then I cut it up (made a good stack of firewood).

We did get another two inches of rain later last night, another storm came through about 9:50. It knocked out power for a little while, lots of wind, but no real damage that I know of. The ground is saturated, nowhere to go for any more rain to go, but more is coming.

All good here. Lots of rain and wind. We had a small tornado a couple weeks ago. Took out some trees, sheds and roofs. I think
 got more than we did this week end.
