Pretty sure our house got hit by lightning last night. One breaker in the house was tripped, 2 breakers in an outside breaker box were tripped, the gfi in the goat barn is junk, Starlink wifi power box has no power and direct TV isn't working.

Guessing you are raising your rates soon...

My wife's weather alert on her phone woke us up about 20 minutes ahead of time. Went downstairs with the dogs, but by the time we were down checking out the TV, it showed everything going by to the east.

That's the way you like it.

Just over 2 inches of rain for SW West Des Moines last night.

Saylorville Lake is forecast to rise 17+ feet from the recent storms. Any other flooding issues in Iowa?

Would prefer this amount of rain to be slow and gradual over a days time versus in a couple hours.

North of belmond the Iowa(?) River was out Sunday, the des Moines is out of the banks not super high but definitely out of its banks south of FD. Little Sioux out of banks south of Spencer

at least they go their high vis on.

Safety First!

this is the type of job where as soon as you are off the lock (sometimes before).... you try and drink as many light beers as humanly possible

Even though it's the one month where I have to mow my yard twice a week, May is by far my favorite month weatherwise. Love the warmer (but not hot) temps, and the rain makes everything green and growing. Could do without the tornadoes, though.

Mid-Sept through mid-Oct would be my second favorite "month".

the lightning is lighting up

right in your space

We just sat down at the bar to eat a late lunch when the sirens went off. The rotation was over the border actually, but the upper corner of the warning box covered like 2 square miles of Rock county.

I don't care how anal you are about your lawn. Mowing more than once in a week is insane.

With all this rain my lawn absolutely needs mowed right about every 5 days.

Imagine how bad it would be if we weren’t in a major drought.

It looks like the water heater circuit board was fried too.

 

[BCClone]

Neighbor told he he’s had 14 inches of rain this season.

I take it you don’t have those lockbox (or whatever they are called) on your boxes?

If I don't this time of year, I'd need to bale it.

 

[tman24]
