My sycamore tree lost multiple twigs and leaves and one huge 4 inch diameter limb was split from the trunk by the force of estimated 60+ mph winds. More heat and humidity is predicted today with highs again in the 100s. Stay cool! BTW, the power went out at 2:34 a.m. and was restored at approximately 5:30 a.m. Great job L.G.&E.!

The big show started again around 9:00 p.m. and lightning and thunder was observed for several hours on and off until around midnight. The rains continued into the early morning hour and this morning I read 1.17 in the rain gauge for a total for the 24 hour period of 1.33.

But, the low clouds cleared after Noon and a high temp of 76F made for a very pleasant day to catch up on yard work after all of the rain we had gotten the past couple of days. Looks like the drought has eased and we won't have too dry of an autumn season.

6/17/2012 6/24/2012 4:30 PM 8 0.05 0.0 0.00 Returned today from a vacation to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina and Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. It was hot and beautiful there except for a lot of haze during the days. There were some days with mountain rain but that didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the mountain views. The weather here in Louisville, Kentucky must have been awful hot and dry while we were gone to only have 0.05 inches in the rain gauge. The grass is brown and hasn't grown much and the ground is cracking. If it wasn't for my son and his family watering the tomato plants and flowers, we would have come back home to dead plants.
