I thought I was hearing the thunder they are forecasting, but not yet - it was neighbor's trash cans blowing around! I am lucky I went out early this morning, before it rained much, and brought mine back, and put some bricks in them - something I do whenever they are predicting bad winds. The rain has let up, around 5:30, but that's just a brief lull, and the worst is around 10 pm, when a long squall line is shown in the radar, which might be bringing down some trees - they're worried about the ground being so soaked from these previous rains, that the roots are not holding them well. They are warning about possible widespread power outages, for this reason.
I hope everyone is OK out there, in the snow and rain areas!
OK, the thunder is here, at 6:11. A thunderstorm in January!
