Thank you for your caring emails.
Almost 7" of rain in one day.
We are a bit shaken but ok.
We live on high ground.
Wild times.

sending loving prayers your way! HUGS
All is well, for now.
Good to hear you are safe. My first thoughts, when I saw the news, was of you, Catherine, and Dee (don’t know who else of ragmates I “know” are in the NE). Good also, to know that your high ground is rocky. Apparently there have been some nasty landslides.
very big rocks. and really the excess water goes right through to the underground river. Where it comes out is really the issue. And that is no where near the house. No standing water up here, even in the garden. Never thought I would see so many back to back thunderstorms.
It’s good to hear you are safe and on high ground. So much damage from the heavy rains. Take good care.
Yeah, the train station is shut down here.
So good to hear you are ok, Jude. I thought of you when I saw the news.
We didn’t see the worst of it…
You received in a day what we in Arizona receive in a year! 2023 so far is cooler than normal with recent temps above 110 similar to past years. Still I really dislike summers after 27 years here.
I’m happy to hear that you are safe.
You are always an inspiration to me!
There has been this much rain here before but it was with a hurrucane. It is hard to tell what climate is anymore. I guess we are safe until we are not.🙄
So glad to hear you are both safe.
🙃
Offering my thanks that you and the man are safe, soggy perhaps, but safe. Nature has her own way of reminding us that we must be vigilant but sometimes, she comes at us so quickly, that all we can do is hang on and then go on…if anyone can stand and face, pivot and go on it is you and the man…blessings to you both.
We can try. The idea of season has surely changed, so we will too. 💚
I am so relieved that you are ok! We had flooding a month ago with the unfamiliar roar of a nearby river. It was unnerving to experience so many things at one time – rain, noise, heat. I hope you have a good week ahead as you sort out the effects of the storm.
so well put, sort out the effects, adjust, go…
Glad you all are safe and sound.
Here too, more rain this July since the last 40 years. The city in parts has been water logged….and everyday life still seems to function!
Take care ..so glad you are on higher land.
somehow we say here we are, and just go…
Happy you are safe and dry. Sounds like the floods we had last winter. Who wold have thought that global warming would include so much water….
I always thought fire and water but mostly water. Don’t know why… maybe because I know water.
I can hardly imagine rain like that, the ground has been bone dry here in the South West of the UK. Some rain today but a normal amount although they keep forecasting storms and heavy rainfall. So glad you are okay and know you can get through it.
After living in a low lying place for so long we are glad to be on a hill. It’s either too dry or too wet, right?
I’ve been thinking of you all day…thinking about the world we live in. We really can’t take anything for granted.
In a way, that is beautiful.
Was thinking about you last night after the news reports of expected flooding for New York.
Glad to hear you didn’t end up on a roof!
I hate the sounds of the crazy severe thunderstorms we’ve been having this year😬 Earplugs come in handy!
Stay strong 💙
I don’t mind the thunder and lightning so much, love it actually. And rain, I usually fall asleep to the sound, but this was weird.
Keep safe everyone, so much going on weather wise; we too have had devastating floods here in many areas of New Zealand since the start of the year.
Maybe we need to redefine safe…
Reading your post and everyones’ comments as the rain keeps pouring down here—–
Glad you are safe!!
WHEW
Crazy-ass weather.
It’s cool and sunny today but the heat and rain are on their way back. 🙄
Enjoy it while it lasts, eh?
Hope the returning rain isn’t too heavy there!
Rumble rumble crack-kaboom here still….
Whoever predicted drought here this summer was rather off. Or maybe that’s next.
May you be safe
Seems that for now.
Oh man!!! I’ve been thinking of you, as the videos I’ve seen were crazy! I’m so grateful you guys are okay. ❤️
Out here were dealing with heat and a UV Index of 12…the air quality is off the charts and so is my asthma. My son & DIL could believe the difference in the UV between here and MA! xo
Yeah, the heat, combined with bad air, awful.
Quite a time it’s been! I don’t think we got quite that much, but a LOT. Everywhere roads are closed, flooded, bridges too dangerous to drive over. Intense. Sorry you were shaken. The sound of torrential rain ALL NIGHT LONG was just too intense!
Really couldn’t sleep. All I can hear is the river today.
we are being required to find new feelings for all this
Yup, cuz here we are. In it.
My nightmare. We had 11″ once and literally waded out of our apartment. I have never seen pending storms without some trepidation ever since. We’ve just gone through a derecho event here – imagine a 20 minute hurricane barreling through, 70-90mph winds. Then more storms. Five days without power, internet or cell service followed. New nightmare…
Glad you are on high ground (oddly enough that is literally the name of this city – Terre Haute – but hasn’t seemed to keep us from some major flooding.)
Not looking forward to hurricane season this year.
I don’t know if my path crosses less often with climate change deniers or if its just getting harder to deny – but I’m glad that on top of the stress of living with the increasingly volatile conditions, I don’t have to deal with folks saying its nothing new…just a weather cycle.
So glad you are safe Jude.
It’s certainly something…
Very scary! Glad you all are safe. 🫶
Unexpected but then not.
Hi Jude. I saw the news and was thinking about you. Happy to hear you and your family are safe. Crazy times.
Sun’s out tho!🙃
Jude! I am horrified at the deluge you describe!! Every day I feel and experience serous changes taking place, from the diminished insect populations, dramatic swings in the weather, and for us, this suffocating heat dome that will not release its hold on us. I am a very positive person, but there is no denying that the effects of Global Warming are just getting started. So relieved you are safe.
It has definately taken hold.
Glad to hear all is well. Would be nice if the powers that be would evenly distribute the rain but we must take it as it comes.
Indeed!
Glad you are safe. Crazy weather everywhere.
U got that right.😳
It’s boggling to think of that much RAIN! So glad you’re ok!
The sound was deafening…
So glad to hear that you’re safe 🙏❤️
Scary!
Every year when my FEMA flood insurance comes up for renewal I wonder if having it is overly pessimistic as we are not in a specified flood zone … and then I renew it anyway
Yeah, cuz who knows?
OMG. Glad you are high and dry!
That is an insane amt. we are very wet too and some roads are flooded but not 7”!
So happy to hear you are well! Some of the pictures that are out are just terrible. Wild wild weather!
Yeah, unbelievable.
Happy to hear that you have come out of the severe weather okay.
Some, a lot of folks, not so lucky.
Thank goodness!!
I have to say I have ne er seen this much water fall from the sky in such a short time. The river jumped the stone wall and the whole forest is flooded.
Wow. That’s very dramatic. And concerning.
It’s all very concerning.
