When you're use to 104-108, its a bit chilly lol.
Amen
I dont know if this is a sign of a long winter or not, but the same Black Walnut tree in my yard has lost its third limb of the same size this summer.
Thats a 16 foot freighter canoe for scale and the planter box is 2x8's.
Healthy limbs, no rot. Just so heavy with Walnuts this year they couldnt support the weight. Crushed a tomato plant, broke my planter box...
99F humidex and 90% humidity at 10am. Fun with a chainsaw? Yep, not that old yet!

Far north Chicago burbs.
It's raining cats, dogs and pitchforks

As usual in Da Swamp: hideous. It's 82 F. even before dawn with a heat index pushing 90, and a soggy dispiriting heat of 94 (HI of 105?) expected this afternoon. And this will drag on for months yet.
Big thunderstorm rolled through last night starting around 10:00pm. The power went out around 10:30 pm and didn't get restored until shortly after 7:00 am this morning. I don't recall ever having a thunderstorm that just kept coming in waves like this one. At one point, in middle of the night, the house was surrounded by nonstop lightening for several minutes. When dawn came I was relieved that there appeared to be very little damage that I could see in the area.
I'm convinced that all the rain was my fault because, since we had very little rain in the last few weeks, I watered the lawn for several hours yesterday.
I did have one casualty. A relatively large branch broke off of one of my Witch Hazels.
Rain total overnight was 4.5 inches.

This is what rolled through here last night.
It was bizarre. I've never seen or heard anything like it. The lightning didnt stop or even slow down for 20 minutes. There were a few cracks of thunder but the most bizarre part was the sound of the lightning. It sounded like really strong wind, not thunder.
Fast moving severe storms leave trail of damage in southern Ontario
Severe thunderstorms raced through southern Ontario Sunday night bringing damaging wind gusts and large quarter-sized hail.www.theweathernetwork.com

Better than 2.25 inches in the garden last evening. Pea sized hail. Straight line winds hit less than a mile from here, took down a barn.
Then my lovely War Department said we got another half inch this late morning. Lots of thunder, one HUGE lightening bolt!
Southwest Ohio is having a hot September. It is a normal late summer here.
This is some shots from just before yesterday's storm. The leaning tree has been getting werser, but not any worse for wear from the storm. 
According to my weather training (yeah, I'm a nerd with a license, a ham radio one. So laugh all you want, haters!) I should have already been in the basement when I took this picture. It's okay to call me a hero in my own mind friends!

A warm evening but a cold front is supposed to be here by Wednesday.
They said theres a solar flare...
I guess they were right. From my nephews back deck in Fort McMurray last night.

That solar flare is new to me.
Sunny and 77 degrees in the northwest corner of South Carolina. Highs will be in the upper 60’s in a few days. Autumn is coming. So is trout fishing.
Beautiful! Yes there was a very big solar flare yesterday.
Windy. Very, very windy
