Weather { The Heavens opened up...

...and unleashed a torrent of rain, wind, and hail on Rochester this morning. This morning (9am) went to work and it was partly cloudy, mild with a little sun. 10:30am the sky was as dark as night, winds over 60mph, lightning like the wrath of Zeus all around, rain so hard it turned the streets into the canals of Venice and hail. Now its 11am and the weather is still raining and still some lightning, but the hail has stopped and the wind has decreased to 20-30mph.

We need the rain, its been very hot and while humid, very dry. Everything is scorched brown, usually something you don't see until August. (I blame Global Warming) It would be nice if we could have a constant soft-medium rain for about six hours or so to soak the ground, with rain this hard and fast, most just runs off the dry top before it can soak in.

We took a break from work to watch the show, Nature has the best stuff. Waiting to hear if anywhere needs help. SW Rochester reported tree damaging winds and hail so severe it looked like it snowed.
