No rain here
until next
Thursday into
Friday. It's
been 2 weeks
w/o rain. Much
of the roads
have been fixed.
Some washouts
were 3 & 4'
deep. Lots of
stone used to
fill in the
holes. The
French drains
work perfectly.

Glad it let up and they got some work done.
Still dry as a bone here. Gonna take a strong system to break through this dry air.

The Boston area
is getting a few
days of rain. Not
any here til next
Thurs-Friday. It's
so pleasing to be
able to go outdoors
and not have a
world of mud. Nice
autumn temps have
arrived w/solid
ground. This is
our summer til
mid Oct when then
temps start to drop.

Sounds great there -- you paid in advance with all that rain.
There's a storm over in Indiana headed this way but radar shows the Cbus heat island shredding it as it approaches town. Probably reemerge east of me.

The roads are
made better w/
the French drains.
The test will
be the next time
near monsoon rain
falls. Ten years
between the heavy
stuff is becoming
shorter since the
40 years I've
lived here. Even
w/a 2 year drought
back 24 y/a, I've
never seen the 3
major rivers in
low water.

I can't really picture the situation, having never been there. Putting rocks in the ditches would keep the ditches from becoming erosive rivers but it would seem the ditches would not capture as much water, which would mean water is running over the road, which the ditches were designed to avoid. I'm sure I'm missing something.
Meanwhile, we got some rain yesterday late afternoon and more overnight. The drought's not over by any means but my lawn looks a bit less brown.

A french drain
is all stone on
the side of the
road. So if the
rain is heavy,
it can not wash
the stone away.
Saves lots of
wash outs. It
works really
well.

More needed rain here overnight and this morning. Drizzled during golf. Walked a good bit, 2 miles or so.
Could be a wet weekend in these parts, depending on where Helene's remnants end up heading:

This area is to finally get some rain after 3 weeks of being dry. Today will see a ½" and Thurs will see an inch. Rain should give the hardwood leaves some autumn colors. |

Probably the systems we had the past few days.
Helene is now projected to hit the Florida coast as a Category 4 Hurricane and head due north. The guesser says it will be affecting Cincy by Friday morning and then the remnants will push on up to central Ohio, just not as much rain. Probably drench you early next week.

You should get something!
Helene is now CAT 4. Could get pretty wet here starting sometime tomorrow.
I played 18 today, walking 2 miles of it. Got really close to a hole in one. No cigar, though.

Rained all day
til 6 PM. Have
standing water.
First time since
early August. The
power went out
at 8:20 PM. Rec'd
a text from the
electric Co saying
they were turning
off the power to
work on the lines.
First time that
happened that
I know of. It was
an hour outage.

Not a bad power outage.
We had 10 hours of rain today with 1 to 7 being pretty steady. May get more. Helene made it inland really fast.

Hope you get
some of the
rain from
Helene. We
rec'd just
over an inch.
The ground
should absorb
it well. Next
rain is for
Wed/Thurs of
next week. It
may add to the
autumn colors
of the leaves.
