Thunderstorms are the forecast next four days . I have a small concrete pad I would like to work on , maybe Tue.
 
We had an earthquake the other night. Apparently, I slept through it. I have felt a few before, though.

We could use a bit of moisture out here. Our July low temperatures were about our normal high July temperatures (here at the coast of CA it only varies by about ten degrees between the high and the low). Our water is running about ten degrees above normal too. Not a single day was not into at least the 80's.
 
Under a severe thunderstorm watch. Tornadoes have been spotted. No where near me but still, pray for me because I'm scared of dying in a tornado.

True story. Many years ago (my boys were both toddlers) we were having a terrible storm. Anyway, there was a tornado spotted in my town and the news guy said to take shelter. Mr A wasn't home and it was just me and the kids. I was scared to death. I put all of us in bicycle helmets and we piled into the coat closet. Then the phone starts ringing and they keep fucking calling back. WTF? I jump out of the closet to answer the phone and it's my mom telling me to take cover. So I tell her I'm trying but she needs to quit calling. Anyway, I go back to the closet and I can't get in - I tell the boys to make some room and they say they can't because my doge (RIP, he passed away at 17 years old:sorrow:) came in and decided to stretch out and take a nap. They voted me out of the tornado closet.
 
A coworker is from India and says the whole state where he's from (about the size of New Mexico) is under 4-5 feet of water. Power lines falling in the water so they turned off all electricity. People living on the roofs of their houses, no food, military dropping food packets but they don't know which houses have people because nobody can charge their cell phones.

Seriously bad monsoon season. They're talking about opening the dams cuz they are about to collapse. That will add 3 or 4 more feet of water.

Sheesh.
 
Raining this morning , rain again Mon & Tue , rain the last week of the month is forecast ea day . Looks like sunny tomorrow and one more day between now and Sept 02 on the extended forecast .
 
I thought we were going to get enough rain to refill the pool but it looks like I'm going to have to add water today.

I started the hose right after I posted this and I swear about the time I was going to take the hose out, it started pouring. It also started lightening so I had to abandon my laptop. I ended just sitting there looking for something to watch on Netflix. I think I spend more time looking for something to watch than I do actually watching shows. I'm thinking about finishing up Nazi Super Weapons tonight.
 
Monsoons resumed today . I went down to see my river ( what people call the Ohio ) . Took Mrs O out for Sirloins and shrimp .
 
I think it was about 97 today , I spent the day digging a ditch . Maybe two or three more to go between now and frost time and I will be done

Rains again on Wed & Thurs . I sawed up two dead poplars today , probably another tomorrow . They will be used for my annual Battle of the Wabash bonfire and celebration .
 
Over 90 again today . I had a good breakfast of bacon , hashbrowns with onion and bell peppers . Wish me luck as I head to the humid jungle to chop down another dead poplar . Seems like if I recall all those poplars died after no rain around the whole summer of 2014 then seems like near record rainfall in 2015 and 2018 .
