Sounds like the bricks are a decent fix.
Last word on the hurricane remnants is they'll make it to STL and then drift east. Southern Ohio may get a little rain by the weekend but central Ohio and parts north may get next to nothing.

Do hurricanes
often arrive
in Ohio? Seems
more like they
are a coastal
storm feeding
off the Atlantic.
Several hit the
Boston area when
I was a kid. We
hovered in the
boulder foundation
of the 3 story
house hearing big
trees in the yard
hit the ground.
Two of them.

Hurricanes never reach Ohio -- only the remnants, which are often by far the most significant source of fall rainfall. We're in drought conditions and need those remnants to end it.
Most years, at least one and often two or three remnant systems will pass through all or at least a large portion of the state and drop 2 to 4 inches of rain over 2 to 4 days. Francine is still expected to dry up before she reaches us.

Thanks for
explaining
how the storms
affect your
area. I only
known how the
Boston area
was affected.
Some areas are
in a drought
as it has not
rained for 3
weeks. Not a
drought in
northern NH.

It's now been 4+ weeks since I mowed. I think that's got to be a record when leaves are on trees. Francine's remnants deviated from the expected path -- they turned west, which doesn't provide any relief here.

Not sure were
Francine is
headed, just
know LA, MO,
AR, and the Gulf
Coast is getting
heavy rain. It's
a Big area of rain
fall. On a weather
map, it looks like
Ohio is going to
get it's share.

Actually, Francine headed west from Memphis and the local guessers all agree that it's unlikely even the southwestern corner of the state will see any rain but central Ohio will be shut out. The incredibly dry air is just essentially frying any bands that spin that wide.
The local station I watch the most put together a map (more or less copied from the credited sources) showing most of Cbus is now in an extreme drought condition:

Can see on
the weather
map the storm
is breaking
up well before
it reaches Cbus.
Looks like it'll
die in Indiana
before it gets
to Ohio. You
may have a week
of strong sun
and zero rain.
Sorry your area
is in an extreme
drought.

Thanks, it's brutal. But it's now been over 4 weeks since I mowed! No relief in sight.

It's been 25
days w/o rain
in the Boston
area. Think
it rained once
in that time
here. Like the
dried up puddles
and no mud around.
Now we can enjoy
a real summer
for a month.

Not sure what's happening with a storm on the east coast. Normally, it would have charged over the mountains and we'd have had some rain but the guesser says it's going to split and we'll get little if anything from it.
The northern split might head up the coast and drench Boston, maybe even head your way. Or not, the local guesser didn't really cover anything outside our area.

Will watch the
weather forecast
in my area, 162
miles north of
Boston. Am very
thankful there
is no rain in
the forecast for
the next 10
days. We are
drying out from
6 months of
extra heavy
almost daily
rain.

Looks like the Atlantic storm is reaching parts of southern Ohio but probably not my area. We've got some clouds but nothing wet.
The east coast looks pretty clear from Virginia up to Maine. Not looking like a great day to be in Bermuda and some of the other islands.

It's been 82°
for days. It's
to be in the 70's
come Thursday.
Then in the 60's
come Sunday. Do
see rain in the
forecast for next
Thursday w/fall-
like temps day &
night. Sad it is
Sept and not May.

The drought continues here with no end in sight. Something like a third of the state has a burn ban including my area. Technically, operating a propane grill closer than 15 feet of a building or without a water source and a fire extinguisher handy violates the ban. Open charcoal grilling is banned, too. I think I could use my smoker legally b/c it has a lid and a chimney, but not sure.
I would also prefer that we were further from winter without having to suffer drenching rain day after day.
