We treated ourselves to smoked menominee. Thank you, fishy. Usually we get whitefish. The two species are cousins (and both in the salmon group). I was surprised that (today anyway) I liked the menominee better than the whitefish we had last time.
Windy now and building since late this afternoon. Supposed to continue all night. Rrrr.

This morning’s weather excitement…less scary than it looks.
Yesterday’s weather fun. We got a lot of green rain. I was oh kay.

Unexpected…we had a windy phase without rain. Fortuately, no trees fell near us…and our power persisted.

After wind, lightning, and rain came through at evening rush hour, things became just humid, and I went to book club. We never lost power; plenty of households have around the area since this morning. ( Here’s my neighbors’ dining room light—call it architectural detail.)

MaNachur raised our lagging rainfall average today. I don’t know if we got the predicted almost-an-inch, but we had lots of rain minutes…for the most part without wind and storminess…yay.

Our day was the usual hot and humid, then the humidity became rain, and the temperature moderated to a mere 80°F. We might see a low of 75°F overnight. Yay!

I think we’re through the last of the waves of weather, the rainy and windy kind, for a while.

Rain overnight filled this tree-pond. Then we had a weather-normal(ish) day (hot, humid). Those storms took out power lotsa places, but not here (knock on wood). They also brought down tree parts. The largest branch I saw down was in the street a few houses away, and the city crew was cleaning it up by 8:10am. Whew.
Now, we’re having rain again as a front came through and is still dragging the precip along. My phone beeped with a flooding alert, but it won’t get to our house. Behind this mess, we’re supposed to get cool(ish) temps and lower humidity. I can hardly wait.

When the sky darkens at 6:20 in the evening in the summer, get worried. That’s how I look at it. And the darkening preceded a storm front, as you might expect. The front came through with blasts of wind, and kept going, with the wind fading, then some rain, then ho-hum.
And I exhaled. All is well again.
