Going to take a couple hours to pump off the pool cover. Guess who slept through the thunder storms last night and didn’t even leave her throne. Silly question but why are the numbers reversed. To me it looks like 1” would be a lot more rainfall than 3” Edited August 2, 2020 by Ourusualbeach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted August 2, 2020 #704 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Well, we got to the supermarket before the rain hit! Sad, that makes us happy😷 There is still a shortage of cleaning supplies at ShopRite and can’t figure out why. The dollar stores are better stocked. Anyway, next week, God willing, we hit the Catskills with our family.🤸🏼♀️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here in Canada there is a place called Lee Valley. It is a hardware and garden store. I did find it on Amazon.ca maybe you can find it on amazon.com or locally to you. https://www.amazon.ca/Worlds-Coolest-Rain-Gauge-A24-CRB/dp/B000270BAA/ref=sr_1_31?crid=SOR3Q2E2UX4W&dchild=1&keywords=rain+gauge&qid=1596396462&sprefix=Rain+%2Caps%2C294&sr=8-31 1 hour ago, John&LaLa said: Like an old school tire gauge The only style I know.

I’m trying to hold my tongue and remember life can’t be easy for them right now either, but yeah, not having an enjoyable experience. Delta is having a day today. https://fox8.com/news/coronavirus/delta-pilot-turns-plane-around-after-2-passengers-refuse-to-wear-masks/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in Staten Island before the bridge was built.Just imagine being on the SI Ferry during a storm ,it was not fun. i am hoping that it will not storm tomorrow.I have a door appointment .I have been waiting 8 months due to the virus and also because it is very difficult to get an appointment.Originally it was supposed to storm today where I live but it is sunny and beautiful.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted August 3, 2020 #722 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) A few storm pics. We had close to 4” of rain in 24 hours and it was needed. We might have had 1/2” for June and July. We also had a tornado watch, along with multiple thunderstorm warnings. Guess who was chillin on the porch during all the action?

Rare A&L_Ont Posted August 4, 2020 #725 Share Posted August 4, 2020 After the storms comes the sunset. Glad my camera was charged. The only think that would make it better... if they were taken from a cruise ship, not standing on a pile of stone dust. 🤷♂️🤦♂️ 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
