Pretty bad wind here in Jasper, TN and a little hail. I was without power for almost four hours but it is back on now. This is good because I was suffering QMB withdrawal!

WE had a big rain on Sunday here in western WA. But I am not going to complain after hearing about the fires in Texas!! All of us who have had enough of the rain should send it down to those people in TX and OKLA. I know they would love it!!!

We had tornado warnings earlier, thunder storms and hail. The hail was marble sized. It has passed over now.

Yes, we had rain, rain, and more rain. In Knoxville, it was horrible in some places.

Sorry for the rain, but I love the view you have from your deck. You must live out in the country. I love country living. I grew up on a farm, but live in a subdivision now with no room at all.

Yes, it's the concurrent date in April. We had thunder with snow in Texas in February, too, so we know not to plant a garden until after that date in April. Ordinarily, you could fairly well figure on late March, here.
The storms that are now in the east started here with a bang last night. Lightning, serious high winds, very heavy hail, and then a 20 minute deluge of rain. It ended so abruptly it was startling, and moved off to the NE.

If the downpour last night had been snow our city would have been shut down. Only one more month of winter left here in the north. My brother in Texas keeps calling me and telling me about his spring gardening and how great it is doing. Phoooey on him!!!

Had a thunderstorm come through here last night. It was short lived but did dump some rain. I watched the lightening as it moved in slowly towards us.
