Tropical Storm Cindy
 
Everyone who is in the path (or might be) of Tropical Storm Cindy, stay safe! I saw projection earlier today that showed it might hit on the Gulf Coast and then turn east and even hit Tennessee and Kentucky! I'm hoping for the best, but have prepared just in case.

Not doing Arkansas any favors either. We have already had 16 inches of rain in the last 12 weeks. Don't need whats coming.

Oh, no, popover! I hope it bypasses all of us.

We could use some rain here but not a flood

We are already getting the rainstorm here. It's supposed to rain for days. Stay safe, everyone.

We have continuous rain here today.

We don't have rain and only a small/slight chance. So glad we aren't in Cindy's path. Sorry for all of those that are.

Well, I think Cindy was another case of media hype gone wild. We got a bit of rain overnight and that's it. We didn't even get any wind.

Hurricanes are scary especially when they come with tornadoes and flooding -- hugs and prayers to those in the path -- we were so fortunate just north of Houston and got a tiny bit of rain; in fact, so tiny that I will have to water my patio plants today-- it seems that the ones that have affected my area come later in the summer and early fall-- it is always a relief when hurricane season is over

It's been raining off and on south of Pittsburgh all day, the edge of the storm.

We have rain here and hard thunderstorms up to 10:00 pm as of now. Everyone please stay safe and be careful. I am in West Virginia.

You're just north of me and we got the same. It seems like the hurricanes/tropical storms that do damage come in Sep and Oct. I do remember when Alicia hit and as I remember is was in the summer, maybe Aug?

Rain part wasn't too bad here, but the WIND yesterday ripped off part of the barn roof and took some treed sown, which took out poles and power lines, which took them til just before noon today to fix. No power for almost 24 hours for my whole neighborhood. Tricky when you are on oxy and use a nebulizer to deliver meds. I had to pack up my machine and drive a ways to get meds this morning at 6 am, because the battery one was already dead, being only good for a couple deliveries, and I couldn't recharge.

I'm glad you got it taken care of popover. We barely had any wind here.

Found out from my sister across the road the weather alert radio sounded a tornado alert during this time and I didn't know because I was outside bringing the cat in from the shop. I had her out there while some workers were here to replace a ceiling that was falling. Did't know of possible danger until later.

It only lasted about 10 minutes but it was 60mph straight line wind.
