Cow pissing on a flat rock .. thank you Fay!

The clouds are so thick I've lost my Direct-TV signal. I've already had 4" of rain in my gage, and more rain bands are coming. Thank goodness I checked out the sump pumps this morning!

1. We're supposed to get it sometime tomorrow

I have Direct TV too. I better not miss Biden :-(.

I cannot figure out how to make it work, but everyone seems to think it is pretty cool.

Good luck, Buddy,
Tom

9. Thanks, Tom!

I've got signal now. But there is another rain band marching in from the west.

3. Julio's moving into the southwest

so you're certainly not alone.

Just keep an eye on Gus, he looks like he's gonna be a mean sumbitch.

11. Gustav the spoiler .. already affecting my Labor Day plans.

We were taking my 88 year-old dad to my brother's beach house at Grayton Beach (next door, more-or-less, to Cheryl Crow). The last planned family trip down there was canceled by my mother's stroke on 5/3 (she died on June 26). Dad loves the beach and is antsy to get down there. We are antsy to take him, too. But we have a family history of avoiding hurricanes.

4. Stay dry and hope the reservoirs are filling up

This too will pass. :grouphug:

5. 4" is nothing - we got 20" over the weekend and it is still freaking raining

The ground is so saturated that the power company cannot get into the power pole to find out why we don't have power - it's been off since Friday and we finally gave up and checked into a motel tonight to have a cool dry room and hot showers - and internet. We're having highs in the 90s, lows in the upper 70s low 80s with 80-99% humidity. We got about 2" of rain just this afternoon.

Places in the area that have never had flooding are under water. Rivers are several feet above the previous record highs. If Gustav comes in here, after Fay stalled over us, the area will be shut down for a month.

7. 4" is life when you live in the most drought-stricken area of the country.

Upstate SC. D-4.

BTW: Welcome to DU!

10. I'm happy to see, though, that as of this map

the Okie panhandle is getting some relief. I've been out of the country for awhile. All my husband tells me is that "It's been friggin' raining again".
Good luck ya'll.

8. Welcome to DU woodswell!

:hi: We can use some rain up here in PA. I hope you all have a comfortable night in the motel and that Gus passes you by.

6. You should live in Florida! And after all that rain we get a ticket for watering the grass.

Four more hurricanes on the way in the next two weeks....check NOAA

12. Bush isn't letting up with this storm.

You'd think he'd steer this storm toward Denver or something.

13. After the next four Hurricanes roll through we will be lucky to have our lives..let alone

our houses. Stay Safe as you can!
