Wet carpet in the basement.  Got up on the ladder in the thick of it and found a bunch of helicopters blocking the gutter. 

Funny thing is, I don't have a maple tree in my yard.

Rain cancelled the CMP match, darnit. I got soaked on the way to the apartment from the parking lot.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

2.67" of rain here at my place in Lincoln.  I also had to get the ladder out to clean the plugged gutters of helicopters while it was pouring rain.

Just lots of rain in the southern burbs of Omaha. Went for a scenic drive about 7:30 to check on the Papio Creek system. They seem to be about 80% full and could go higher.  :o

How 'bout you folks out West? Looking like things might be a little blustery there.

i went to a gun auction in Deshler and we left about half way through.  30 minutes after we left, the town had a tornado close by.  we left just in time and made it back to Lincoln just fine.

10P weather looking like a couple of frontal systems will merge near Columbus and move through Eastern NE (Omaha area) after midnight.  Severe thunderstorm watch/warning until 5AM....  It's not over yet..
