Subj : CFBBS update info To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Sun Aug 26 2018 08:35:00 Hi Daryl! BM>Obviously. Even this house being on a slight rise on top of the bluff BM>is going to have flooding issues. Probably was only half that amount BM>but a few years ago we have a heavy rain and we could hear the water BM>pouring in to the sump pit and the pump was triggered about every ten BM>seconds or so. DS> Where I have been in the apartment complex...plus my Mom's DS> place (where I'll be moving back to by late next month) are not DS> prone to flooding. We've had a stormy summer here. Good on the 'not prone'; bad on the stormy, especially as much as you and lightening seem to be attracted to each other. Is your moving to your mother's place permanent or just while she is recovering? BM>We're supposed to get back into the heat this weekend. Thursday morning BM>as I type this and 52ø; high forecast to be 78ø. Friday low-80's and BM>thunderstorms. Then there's the weekend: back into the 90's. The heat returned for the weekend here; I pretty much stayed inside yesterday (Saturday) not so much because of the temperatures being in the mid-90's but because of the humidity being so high -- almost the drenched in sweat thing just standing. BM>Yup: it's even getting a few seconds in the local news. Looked like BM>pretty much a direct hit on one of the islands. Board up those windows! BM>Was thinking a few years back we had some sort of storm with very gusty BM>winds and it blew the Styrofoam panels I use on either side of the BM>window air conditioner for insulation out. They're just friction fit, BM>but still. DS> Parts of the Big Island had received 3 1/2 feet (over 40 DS> inches) of rain. That's almost unbelieveable! Seems like there couldn't possibly be that much water floating in the clouds, and then for it to fall like like a seam broke. One would almost expect to see now-shriveled-up clouds with broken flaps, ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® .... What do you call a fish without an eye?
