invisible airwave Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 60 miles NW of me near Six Flags Magic Mountain 1
Rhyta Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Looks like the heat dome has broken up, we are at a lovely 79 degrees today. Utah overall is still hot but the record shattering has abated for now. We set records earlier this week with 102 on Sunday only to have 107 on Wednesday...never has been recorded this high in September! Those temps are more July type. We have been fortunate in not having as many large fires as California is suffering with. However now that the heat dome has moved on, we are going to be inundated with smoke from fires from the Northwest. Hoping it won't be as bad as last summer where everything looks hazy and orange. Guess we will have to see, some rain maybe next week. 2

Visited a distant cousin of mother there for 4th of July in 2015. Had to move my cat's water bowl under the roof of the front porch and wash and refill since rain got in the way. I keep it out for her on the hot days since she mostly wants to be outside during the day. 1

I have a stray that I take care of and fill her bowls (keep one on the porch and in the garage) with clean water each day. C'mon rain, we need you! 3
goose Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 Cooler temperatures finally, but now we have a thick layer of smoke from the Placer Mosquito fire. :( 1
pjbear05 Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 The first feeder band of heavy rain sprouting from Hurricane Ian coming down now. While we are not in direct path of the storm the rain is to be expected, and continuous.

She's hoping east coast will be quieter, she and her two cats are on their way to a friend's in Cocoa Beach. 2
treeduck Posted September 27, 2022 Posted September 27, 2022 Hurricane Ian sounds a bit like the hurricane is a bit of a nerd hurricane who's not very threatening. 1

Prayers forallof them. 2
pjbear05 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Had two radar sightings of tornadoes, one about five miles away, the other two miles. No physical damage here, but a lot of rain. The swale (grassy area between street and sidewalk) is completely flooded, but that's fairly common during a sustained period of rain. If we have a few hours without rain, it will soak into the ground and disappear. All good so far. Edit: Small airport about 1.5 miles west of me was hit, some 17 planes damaged, above ground fuel storage tanks knocked off supports, spilling aviation gas. Apartment complex just North of airport has multiple trees down. Edited September 28, 2022 by pjbear05 Added info.

Well that nerd got angry, it just hit Cuba with 125 mph winds! Hope it slows a bit before hitting Florida 2

pjbear05 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Things much calmer now. Water soaked into the ground, no flooding. Some palm and tree branches down, but a lot fewer than expected. Just need to cut things down enough to fit in the trash container (here yard waste and small branches are consiered garbage) and things will be cleaned up. Dodged a bullet again! 2
Chicken hawk Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Prayers to all those good folks living in IAN's Path. Look OUT ! Spoiler 1
Tinwoodsman Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Sending prayers to all of those in the world, and on this forum affected by adverse weather conditions. It's quite lame on the Prairie compared to other regions. We can kinda dig in an survive here, even with our extremes. The weather here has turned favorable enough to complete the harvest. It is quite dusty and hazy tonight. That being said, it reminds me of my childhood. Grin. Hang in there! I'm countin' my blessings! ... and giving thanks. Sending well wishes! Be safe. 2
pjbear05 Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Rain, rain, rain, constant from about 9:00 this morning. Still thundering and drizzling, front swale completely flooded again.
Tinwoodsman Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Second killer frost on the pumpkin this morning 1
IbanezJem Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) It`s waaaay too goddamn sunny for my liking, that`s for sure. Edited October 16, 2022 by IbanezJem
