We got a decent amount of rain out of the remnants of Gustav yesterday. Not torrential, just...persistent. Hope all of our Cellarites who are in Hannah and Ike's way get themselves prepared.

Rain? What in the heck is rain?

My most favorite part of summer is thunderstorms. We haven't had any freaking rain in so long we are in danger of official drought.

Damn Ohio.

lookout123 · 09-04-2008, 02:58 PM

we've actually had quite a few this year. IIRC our monsoon season was really weak last year but has been pretty sweet in '08. The monsoons just don't come in like they used to, though. I'm sure it has something to do with how the city has built up so much.

er, yeah. thanks for asking. no it's ok, me and the voices in my head have conversations like this all the time. it is a side effect of working by myself so much...

Merc, thanks for the mail (and the enclosed links). It fascinates me. Sorry not to know, but how did Savannah fare after the exodus described in the newspaper article? I guess it wasn't razed to the ground given the gorgeous pictures you post.

If you have a chance to indulge my completely selfish curiousity, please keep us updated on Ike!

Shawnee123 · 09-05-2008, 07:58 AM

IT RAINED LAST NIGHT! I swear I heard all the local foliage breathing a sigh of relief.

It's funny when you live somewhere dry and you get rain. I always run to the window and say "It's raining!"

kerosene · 09-05-2008, 10:08 AM

Yeah, I know what you mean. When I moved here from Ohio in 88, I said "Jeez, you guys are in a worse drought than we were." The people who lived here looked at me like I was on something.

Shawnee123 · 09-05-2008, 10:44 AM

I remember some years ago...I don't know 88 or 89...when we had an official drought. I lived in an apartment in town and the day it finally rained...the entire neighborhood for blocks came outside and stood in it, cheering. It's a really strange thing to not get rain.

I love rain. I should move somewhere soggy.

There was absolutely no damage to Savannah. The storm took a right hook and moved up hitting Charleston. They took it pretty hard.

TheMercenary · 09-05-2008, 11:09 AM

We are about to get a bunch of rain. I am stuck at work while the wife and kid are going to be home. As long as we don't get many tornados from it and no trees fall on our house we should be good to go.

Hmmmm - I wonder if I can get odds on that?

You'd lose that bet.

Fay=dumped lotsa water here.
Hanna=annoyed us, then left.
Ike=ummm, actually ... he can go somewhere else as far as I'm concerned.

My list of tropical cyclones I have surfed in got another entry today. I don't believe Ike will be as kind as the other two I've taken on this year.

I'd agree with that. Hanna is skirting by us with some tropical gusts and outer rain bands. NC and SC are going to get a spanking.

Ike, that is another thing all together.

Tw, the chorus to your theme song should run, "Come flail away, come flail away, come flail away with me..." and anyone caring to regard the imagery as that of mental masturbation is welcome to.

It's remarkable how unreceptive you are to the idea that your handling of emotion may be just a trifle subadult. We do know that means your mind is bad and your counsel likely pretty worthless. You want to imagine a worst enemy? Look in the mirror; you'll see him there, every wart, every pimple, every jot and every tittie.

Texass coast is going to have a blow. Anyone on here from down that way?

Shawnee123 · 09-11-2008, 05:27 PM

I know Flint and Clod are both Texans but they've been here today so I don't think they're near the path.
