2. Thanks, NJCher. I can definitely use that info here in SW Florida. Saved it on my Home Screen.

Helps me keep my pups and kitty snuggled and feeling safe ahead of time.

5. we just got another warning!

at 7 p.m. Lots of thunder, too.

The warning said not to go anywhere unless fleeing a flooding area.

I'm on a mountain, so not worried.

6. I'm pretty safe too

Scary loud warnings and one of my cats won't come out from behind the door - poor thing.
I must say that with all this heat, we need the rain.

We're closer to the valley between first and second mountain - a couple of hundred feet above Verona Lake but the person who built my house was an civil engineer in the Civil War and know what he was doing. Our property is raised and built on sand dredged from the lake, so we never flood. ( shhh....I didn't say that)

There are streets in our town along the Peckman river that get serious flash flooding during storms like this.

7. just got another one!

This was as my kitty crawled on my shoulder.
Didn't bother him. He wants me to come brush him. He's entitled, you know.

I saw pics of flooding in Plainfield on Reddit. Looks pretty bad.

8. Yes. In Manhattan.

Seems to have calmed down from about an hour ago, but there were some big bolts.

9. Terrible Flooding out there

Thankful I wfh and when I do drive into the office it's West into Bucks County PA. Used to drive from Hunterdon to Secaucus. 78 and I-95 are mess.

Shelter in place folks.
