    Default Holy Cow, not again


    I am sitting here watching the Monday night football game(love to see Alshon Jeffery play) and checking in on CDC and my TV picture starts breaking up. I have a satellite dish, but it takes a monsoon to mess up the signal, so I walk out on my back porch and sure enough....Monsoon. It is raining like crazy right now. I thought it was supposed to start clearing up tonight.
    Sheesh!!!!! I am starting to mold.

    PS
    Saw this after I posted above.
    My boss lady at the church is a climatologist and she post updates every so often. Here is her latest at about 10:30 tonight.

    We've gotten 1.56" of rain today and there is more coming. However the rain should end in the morning. https://t.co/aaGQTJrnTU

    Are you getting the lightening storm that we are? My wife has walked through the house twice looking out the windows. Pretty rough storm out here on the highway.

    Ray, you might want to try this stuff on the surface of your satellite dish ( Rust-Oleum NeverWet ). I read that it really helps to prevent losing signal due to heavy rain, ice, or snow covering or sticking to the dish surface and blocking the signal.
    You can do a search on it to get details and uses. It sounds like good stuff.
    We just got settled in here on Lake Murray and put in satellite TV but I haven't had a chance to get this stuff and apply it yet. I am like you in really wanting to have a break from the rain. It has been pretty muddy, trashy, and messy up our end of the lake since we moved in.

    My rain gauge holds 5" of rain. It was overfull when I emptied it this morning. The picture I attached is of the 12 mile creek that flooded Lexington last month. This was taken this morning from the highway bridge where it flows through our golf course. If you look up the stream in the picture you can see a straight line across the water. That is the top of the bridge where the golf carts cross to the green. In normal flow this top would be about 6 or 7 feet above the creek level. The ground is so wet there is not place for the water to go except downstream.

    Ray, I walked down to my dock a little while ago. There are three full size trees floating out in the slough. I can't believe there were any trees left in the creek that didn't float out there last month when we had the storm of the century.
