Waiting for the rain …

11:45 am – the rain has begun. I was at 4.31″ for October before it began. So far, it is gentle.

10:00 am – While waiting, here are a couple eye-openers for us. I get to watch peacefully from my perch, but hopefully, those of you in the threatened areas have all completed your sandbagging and any other last minute preps. Also hoping that this storm is milder than predicted… Keep us posted about conditions where you are in the comments below.
