Weather Notes

It's been a really wet summer.  Yesterday we had a freaking gully-washer of a storm.  In a matter of 15 minutes, Sligo creek went from 10 inches deep tp 12 feet and spilled out of its banks to flood the park where Romeo and I walk every day. 

I had just brought my 40 gallon recycling trash can in from the curb.  It was bone dry and I tossed a couple of plastic bottles into it.  After the storm there was 7.75 inches of water in thing!
