Thunderstorm Rita has arrived

It's loud and sounds scary. High level winds are much stronger than on the ground, which explains all the "tree trash" on our lawn.

We've experienced flickering and intermittent power outages. Our backyard puddle is full, but the rain has been steady, not a strong downpour, so it's not threatening the laundry room.

From the weather satellite photos, it looks this may be as bad as it gets. Let's hope so. It would be so nice if the winds did not topple trees on power lines.
