Well, we got the storms (so did you, BG). Yep, we did. I woke up at around 4.30am, just because that's what I do. Then I tried to get back to sleep. The, at about 5am, the storms arrived with much thunder, and they lasted for more than an hour. So no, I didn't get back to sleep smiley - yawn

My power went out for a few hours at 5:30am. Since I'm working at home and can't work without power, I considered it a good reason to sleep in until the lights came back on to wake me. My dog is scared of thunder so she didn't mind staying in later either.

I don't think I've had an outage that long in all the time I've been here. Probably no more than half an hour. Sleeping in definitely a good idea.

Well, this is the Gulf Coast, so we're all used to long outages, sometimes weeks. Most homeowners have a generator or two. I'd love to have one of those instant on, natural gas systems, but they're way expensive.

Today in Nodnol
Mixed mostly showers, however the predicted thunder shower has turned up right on time.
I normally only note when the forecasters get it wrong, so I ought to also point out when they are right.

Add one more year to the May 3rd high temperature record list. 95° yesterday, and it felt like it. And there's our first 100° record of the year. Four or five days ago it was looking like we might join it today.

Yesterday was definitely a weather day. Recordings of anything from 2" to 7" of rain and half a dozen or so confirmed tornadoes in the region. Camp Mabry got 2.37" and the airport got 2.73", in both cases, mostly in the morning and early afternoon. And it looks like Saturday might be a repeat performance. Well, May is, statistically, the wettest month of the year.
