Today and tomorrow are a bit cooler than it has been being. We hit 88F today, tomorrow is supposed to be low 80s F. Clear skies today and tomorrow.

We had blistering heat here, highs in the mid 90s with heat index readings in the low 100s. The "grey lady*" handled the heat well enough even on the long trips, seems the lower thermostat for engine cooling was the right idea.

*Grey lady: Yep, my van is so old I name it. A '98 Chevy cargo van, presently with 372,000 miles on the odometer. Still going strong.

We had a thunderstorm this morning,
it took more than an hour to approach then track over the top of us
and to disappear out of hearing range
While it was nearby, we were treated to torrential rain
which, has now reduced to spits~into the many puddles, it left behind

Forecasters [last night] gave warnings of flooding to many areas
~as the ground is so dry,
surface water would accumulate quickly and, have no way of soaking-in quickly enough

We have yet to hear/see weather reports, of areas that had problems with that


:wave:

Mary and dave still here :thumbsup: :)

Right now, 70F under clear skies. Forecast calls for partly cloudy, it might get to 80F, lower humidity. A cold front passed through last night so we're looking at cooler temps with less humidity for the next few days.

Mary just told me, that she saw news re: the weather
that we will have more storms this evening, also

That will be 'fun' ~maybe I will snap some lightning
If I get the opportunity, I will set the camera to, SPORTS 'setting'



FFFFFFAST!!!!!! ;)

It needs a 'very quick' shutter and low exposure setting
and maybe more-than a 'little' precognition :)

I will have-to stay inside with the camera ~my having removed the rear porch
so that carpenters can install the new 'composite' back door [in a couple of weeks time]
They have multipoint locking systems /anti 'jemmy' fittings, armoured glass

Apparently the police do not like them,
as they are so very difficult to bypass with their ram equipment :D


So, I will have-to STAY inside the rear hallway 'safe' and dry :D

Back in the day, I had the equipment...but no more.
Also, the storms here on the lake are bad enough to ring the wall phone some days :p
I'm happy to leave those images to the crazy 'storm chasers' (not saying you are) :D
Hope you get lucky :)
