Good idea. Many a time trees have turned, only to be instant stripped of their beautiful foliage by a surprise hard storm. Just when you start to enjoy them, they're gone !
Amazing the river is so full already. Hope ya'll get lucky and don't get much rain.
We have had a ridiculously wet summer. Last weekend we got 4 inches. It seems like every few days we get 2 in. or 3 in. During one storm Madison got 11 inches and even though Madison is 50 miles away, eventually all that water ends up in this river.
We found that many of the areas that are usually really beautiful haven't even begun to change yet. Everything seems really out of sync this year.
Here in NC, we have had a lot more rain the last couple of months that what as been the norm. When the hurricane came in a few weeks back, the ground was already saturated and I'm sure that made the flooding much worse. I am mid state and although the prediction was dire, we didn't get nearly as bad as they thought, even though we got lots of rain and wind, it was not that bad. We were lucky, but it looks like something else may be heading up shortly with more rain. It is too soon and I hope it dies out before it gets here, otherwise, those folks that are barely getting out of flood danger, will be right back in it.
My neighbor has sandbags in her garage so she is prepared if it comes up a little bit further here. It won't take much to put it at her doorstep. If this precipitation pattern continues after the temperatures get colder we are going to have snow up to a roof lines. I certainly hope that next hurricane just dies out. You guys have had more than your share, too.
I lived in San Antonio, Texas for 6 years and still talk to some of my friends there. When I lived there, we were lucky to have rain once every 2 or 3 months and then it would rain for 3 or 4 days and fill everything back up and disappear for 2 or 3 more months. I have been talking to a friend there and he says they have had so much rain for the last 6 weeks to 2 months that it keeps flooding because they are also very saturated. Talk about somewhere that much rain isn't normal ! Interesting that multiple places are having SO much.
Ew ! I hope it isn't an omen for tons of snow, here or there either one !
