If it ever lets up I'll go check the rain gauge. The damn lawn still thinks its May! ...irritating; I'm tired of mowing grass!

Wait... it gets better. It looks like Hurricane Lee has your neighborhood squarely in its cross hairs.
And don't worry about the grass and leaves this fall. They will be covered with that white fluffy stuff soon enough.
You and REE stay safe up there.

Thanks, Rick. Not sure if we're already getting some of the rain from Lee or not, but this afternoon the trip from Augusta to Carmel, normally an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes, took two and a half hours. Traffic that was normally moving at 70 to 80 miles per hour was slowed to 25 to 30 MPH due to bands of heavy rain and reduced visibility.

The generator is gassed up and ready, everything that can be blown from here to kingdom come is put away or tied down. The car is going in the garage for protection from falling limbs.

I trust Mike is getting ready as well.
