We had wind gusts and hard rain off and on yesterday. Last night seemed to be the worst of it so far for us, raining like a fire hose, and really windy. A few more squalls here this morning and gusty winds, but the sun has peeked through off and on since I got up. I have emptied my 5in. rain gauge twice so . . over 10in. of rain here!
This is when we are so thankful for our very sandy soil - it sure lets the water run through and drain fast! If it didn't our house would flood for sure, as on two sides the ground slopes towards the house.
It really is nice outside, but seems every time I get into something in the garden it starts to rain again. Then stops as soon as I retreat indoors! Small branches down, but no damage as far as I can see.
