More Rain

Well the cat face above DID have ears...I swear it! lol

=^..^=

LOL
I hope you don't get too much damage Hw.
=^..^=

:-)))))

You can get thigh high wellies HW. Fishermen use them over here and they're called 'waders' I think ! Hurricanes are an amazing force of nature aren't they ? Even when they're dying off, they can still cause so much damage. Hope Ida blows out soon and the sun comes back ! :~)

My sister lived in the Cayman Islands and she experienced a very bad hurricane whilst she was there, they're dreadful, awful things when at their worst :-(((((

So true...but also so exciting to be in the middle of one as it rages! The energy is astounding. You probably think me nuts, but I love a good storm! Thunderstorms are my favorite...lol

=^..^= Will let you know if we get anything more than more standing water here...the beaches are what are being hurt the worst

Blimey !
My sister would disagree !
She expereinced the worst category - i think that's a Cat 5 - and she was terrified !

Thunderstorms ... oh yes HW ! Was on holiday recently and there was the most amazing thunder/electrical storm ! No rain, but the most fantastic lightening show I've even seen !! They do say that the 'eye' of the hurricane is very calm though. Is that the case do you know ? :~)

Oh yes Sue the eye is calm as a normal beautiful day...but look around and the storm is still there on all sides...one must run for it when the wind begins to pick back up!

Louis...I too have been through Cat 5's before...they are frightening, but also exhilerating when you survive ...esp when you realize how wonderful it is to be alive, truly alive!

The one we are dealing with now isn't even a hurricane anymore...has been over land too long and lost the worst of it's punch, but we still have all the rain to live through....

=^..^=

Wow ! Adrenaline city or what ? I can't begin to imagine it .......

Must be pretty scary for you.

Wow, yes your dogs need 4 wellies each...
and you would be drier in waders or a wet-suit....!
I hope everyone stays safe....

Hope you keep safe from the floods and winds........its bucketing down here today............

Hope everyone keeps safe thinking of you.

A bit scary, I think! We're expecting gales and torrential rain tomorrow - it's just rain today. Wet, but not bucketsful.

Compared to Ida, I think the 'cupfuls' that we're getting are nothing Spritz ! lol :~)

Hope everything settles soon, HW....there's a power to water that really scares me....specially when there's just too much of the blasted stuff!

You can get all-in-one waders, that are a combination of thigh highs and dungarees, but all made of rubber. Sounds positively kinky. I'll just shut up now, before I get flagged, shall I????

I've got to get a pair so I can wade into the drainage ditch and clear it out before next spring....if you're VERY lucky/unlucky, I may post a photo!!!!
=^..^= ( ooo how I LOVE this cat! )

Unlucky !!!!!!! LOL ;~)))

Thanks all...I must really consider buying the waders if we stay here....I hope everyone else weathers this series of storms well, with little or no damage and no loss!

Today we are actually down to bands of hard rain, rather than steady hard rain...but it never truly stops...you look out and it appears to be stopped, you can no longer hear it battering the house, so you take the dogs out and it is still there! Granted it is only a heavy mist in between heavy bands, but it just doesn't stop!!!!! <sigh>

=^..^= We are so glad you like the cat! :o)

It must be so depressing HW. How long do the rains last after a hurricane ?

It varies Sue....and we are just under the rain umbrella of what USED to be a hurricane, we are not being hit with the hurricane herself.

But they are saying that Saturday (tomorrow) afternoon it will be winding donw!

=^..^=

Well, we've got some sun here this morning, so I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll try as hard as I can to blow it over your way !!! lol ;~)))

I love a good thunder storm but not the damage it causes

I see you are from sussex county... well im from sussex county uk......and we have and are still having the most horendous weather.....gale force winds and really heavy rain.............hope you stay safe where you are........

Holly...I do so hope you stay safe! Starting Sunday we are expecting a week of sunshine!!!! Hope you get it also...

Sue, looks like it worked!!! Yeahhh!

Donnah...but the energy is so invigorating that comes from it! I don't like the damage either, but most thunderstorms here do not cause loads of damage, so I just enjoy them....

=^..^=

My God HW ...... I'm stronger than I thought !!!!!!!!! ;~))))) YO !! xx

:oD

=^..^=

had some fence damage.but the suns shinning today and the winds have eased off..........

Okay...first day of sun...Well done SUE!!!!!!

Ocean front damage, dunes washed out to sea in many places, some folks have damage inside their homes from flooding, many more just external damage...trees down, fences laying over, sogginess everywhere

Here we are pretty good....still have massive standing water ...but no fences to come down, house is pretty high above the ground and our one shaky tree is still standing! So we are doing good!

=^..^=

Glad to have been of help HW !! lol
Sorry for the other folk, but really glad you have not been affected too much :~))

So are we Sue, we were finally able to walk most of the back yard today.....we have a small mound (7- 8ft tall) 3/4 of the way to the back line and there is a pond behind it when it is wet enough...but now that mound is an island the pond surrounds!!!!

There a puddles everywhere...but the next 4 days will be sunshine and rising temperatures...so maybe there is hope of normalcy before the next rain gets here!

=^,,^=

So you've got your own swimming pool in the back yard !! Very posh ! lol
Seriously, fingers and toes crossed that things dry up as soon as possible :~)

Unfortunately...they are predicting more rain by Friday

Is that normal for you at this time of year, or is it still the tail end of Ivan ?

Well Sue... October and November are our rainiest times of the year, but this much rain is out of order.

I shouldn't complain, seeing as how everyone else is having problems too! This climate change we are going through is not selective when it comes to who it changes on! And with the Global warming I dread it getting more severe before it levels off and stabalizes again!

Yes, it sometimes seems as though the world is upside down weather wise at times. You hear so many differing opinions regarding Global warming that I personally do not really know who to believe. Mama Nature is in charge and she will do what she will do and all we can do is try to get through it. You really do wonder what's coming next sometimes though, don't you ? :~)

Agreed Sue, agreed
