Hi Daryl!

 BM>My Mother in southern NH said the region has had some noisy
 BM>thunderstorms with torrential rains, flooding some basements to five
 BM>feet.  (Her's remained dry.)  I didn't make this comment but several
 BM>years back there was flooding in Cedar Rapids (IA) and the water was
 BM>five feet over the roofs.
 DS>   One storm dropped 10 inches of rain just northwest of Little
 DS> Rock one morning last week...then they got another 4 inches that
 DS> afternoon. Flash Flooding was obviously the result.

Obviously.  Even this house being on a slight rise on top of the bluff 
is going to have flooding issues.  Probably was only half that amount 
but a few years ago we have a heavy rain and we could hear the water 
pouring in to the sump pit and the pump was triggered about every ten 
seconds or so.



 BM>Cool but humid again here this morning: 66ø with a dew point pretty
 BM>close -- forgot what they said on the news.  No fog from what I see
 BM>outside but they are reporting it in the region.
 DS>   It's supposed to be very warm toward the end of August, but the
 DS> 30 day outlook for us is showing much cooler. That contrast in
 DS> air masses could lead to severe weather.

We're supposed to get back into the heat this weekend.  Thursday morning
as I type this and 52ø; high forecast to be 78ø.  Friday low-80's and
thunderstorms.  Then there's the weekend: back into the 90's.


 DS>   At least I'm not in Hawaii...Lane, currently a category 5, is
 DS> heading that way. While it may be weaker by the time it gets
 DS> there, significant damage is still likely.

Yup: it's even getting a few seconds in the local news.  Looked like 
pretty much a direct hit on one of the islands.  Board up those windows!
Was thinking a few years back we had some sort of storm with very gusty
winds and it blew the Styrofoam panels I use on either side of the 
window air conditioner for insulation out.  They're just friction fit, 
but still.
