EARPLUGS??
It's 12:30 am and we still have power on Carrollton! OOPS....now I think I may have jinxed it....hope not.
I have a 55 gallon rain barrel under one downspout that covers about 1/5th of my roof. I drained it at about 4 today and it was full again by 4:30. I attached a hose it it and ran it out into the street to keep my back yard from having standing water. Anyways it's raining a lot harder now than it was then, and before roughly 300 sq feet produced 110 gallons an hour.
Ya'll were having withdrawals...... I am going nuts in Afghan because I have nothing to keep me busy during the day. While ya'll were sleeping and BS was down I was at work with nothing to do. Thank you so much Spanky for getting it back up!!! lol
Math time. 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches. Times 100 per hour = 23100. 300 sq ft. = 43200 sq. inches. 23100/43200 = .534 per hour at 4:30. Its kept that pace or better since about 2, so figure better than 6 inches since noon today.
To put it into perspective, with the barrel open and water coming out at roughly the same speed it does from a hose connected to your house, the barrel is still overflowing and flooding a low spot in my yard.

It's rainy. It's windy. But we still have power here. *knock on wood* I know I'm not gonna sleep well tonight so we'll just see how long that holds up.

I saw it too. We still have power hopefully it stays that way.
They just reported the transporter on the news.
I just went and checked out side, very little drizzle, wind actually looks like it slacked up since this afternoon.
Sounds like the neighbors generator is about to blow up, something ain't right with it.
So basically pretty boring. It has to suck for the people across the street, the street lights are on and they don't have power.

Getting a few gusts. Nothing much. Haven't seen a drop of water though.

windy here, and thats about it. Im near the old jefferson area. Its drizzled for a couple minutes here and there since this afternoon, but no real rain
Wind is and has been blowing hard here for a while. Making all kinds of noise. Already found a leak
My dog is also looking at me like an idiot. I had to go out with him. I'm sure if any neighbors saw me they were looking at me like an idiot too
You guys should watch Fox8 of New Orleans if you can. 10 times better than TWC
