Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

[Boyd]

Rain is starting here. The weird thing is, the stong wind suddenly stopped when the rain started, now it's just light rain and light wind.

The alert ends at 6:00 PM, so hoping the worst is over, it was really intense for awhile here.

The wind ripped the shingles off my shed. I am in the process of getting a new one but was hoping to make it a few more months.

just awhile ago? This thing is moving slow me thinks.

It is moving slow. The really intense part just moved in here, looks like it will dump a lot of rain before it leaves. But its raining straight down, with no wind.

Interesting how they can depict that squall line several days in advance.
