Default At Last - Real Rain!

Two whole inches here - stormy as anything at breakfast - 70+ mph gust
throwing water against the windows. But no real damage to any of the fall
foliage, just a few small branches and the rest of the acorns knocked down.

Hope we can do it again soon . . .

Oh this feels to amazing! We got almost four inches up by the Dell
Diamond in far NE Round Rock. I have not gone out to see how
wonderful everything looks. We only had gentle wind gusts, no damage,
just wet.
