DH just emptied our rain gauge...it was overflowing the top at 4". And apparently the sump pump kicked off for a bit, so now there's some water in the basement. (Not too much thankfully.)

I got drenched running a short distance from the car to the doctor's office. The rain is bad enough, but the wind is wild!

And it's still raining.

Me too !! I went to run to town and found a tire needed air, so I was drowned before I left the yard. You are right about the wind its crazy.

Hope you're dry and warm now Sue. I think we've both had enough of the rain for a while!

The power outages with this storm is amazing:

According to PowerOutage.us, a website that tracks power outages across the United States, more than 4.6 million customers in 10 states were without power just after 2 p.m. ET as a result of Helene.

• South Carolina: 1,265,187
• Georgia: 959,735
• North Carolina: 913,504
• Florida: 838,301
• Virginia: 227,145
• Kentucky: 211,584
• Tennessee: 112,037
• West Virginia: 73,348
• Ohio: 62,025
• Indiana: 11,727

KY is right below yellow Ohio and TN is below KY.

Sue, I find it interesting that KY has more power outages than TN since you are farther south and closer to where the storm came from.

Has anyone heard from Kelsey? She's conspicuous by her absence.

Maybe because of all the hollers or whatever they call them here, lots of valleys and then also the mountains block a lot of the storms. At the old house it was good for keeping us safe from the bad storms, we still lost power though, so

Good morning, you all. Have a sensational Saturday.
