Rain started around 0800, then intensified. Over half an inch so far (just past noon). Thunder nearby, but not right on top of us.
The big storm is supposed to arrive in a couple of hours. Total rain in the day's forecast, almost two and a half inches. In one day.
Mostly sunny tomorrow, thunderstorms for the weekend. Looks like several indoors days coming up. Well, there's indoors stuff I need to be doing, but I also need to get the remaining brush piles off the back lawn before grass and vines grow up around and among them. Which, well, I rather suspect such growth will happen before the lawn dries out enough to drive the tractor around on it again.
Update: As of 0500 Friday, the storm seems to have passed... after some impressive gusts of wind and a tornado warning none too far from here about 0045, leading to a first attempt at a family tornado drill. We clearly need to put some emergency stuff in the basement, have a better plan for getting all the critters down there, and figure out how to get my father down there without the stairs being more of a danger to him than the possibility of a tornado.
Total rain so far, a bit under two inches. Most of the afternoon storm got blown off course, passing East of here.
