[AT] Storm

[charlie hill]

I just went out and checked Al,  2.3" in my gauge.  I walked on out to my 
garden to find most of my tomato plants flat on the ground
because a handful of branches blown out of a hickory tree had bombarded 
them.  I think they'll mostly be ok.  A couple of branches broken off here 
and there and one small tomato broken off the vine.  All together not so 
bad.  I think they'll recover.   I guess the whole mess lasted about 2 1/2 
hours here but for about 20 minutes or so we had winds in excess of 70 mph 
I'm sure.

Last night after the power had been off for about 5 hours and it was getting 
dark I pulled a couple of hundred feet of drop cord over to my neighbors 
generator so I could run my refrigerator and water pump.  While I was 
connecting two cords in the tall grass in the buffer area between the two 
yards I stepped about 2 inches from a half grown Copperhead.  I guess he was 
about 18" long.   Plenty long enough to have made me pay for getting too 
close if he had chosen to.  I was well within his strike zone.  He was more 
interested in getting away but because he was only a few feet from my 
neighbors garage and because my neighbor is deathly scared of snakes and had 
killed what was probably this snakes brother/sister in his garage last week 
and finally because I had to reach back down in that grass where he was 
trying to hide I went ahead and killed him.

It's pleasant here with a nice cool breeze this morning but we are supposed 
to have more of the same heat and t-storm threat this afternoon.

The power flickered off here twice but came back on.  It was kinda wild 
around here for a few minutes, managed to blow over our 47' long auger that 
we fill the grainbins with but that was about the only damage we seem to 
have had.  Didn't get a whole lot of rain though.
