Some bad thunderstorms today. I used it as an excuse to get the kid to practice lighting the kero lamp.

Heavy rains swamp Northeast again as flash flooding claims at least 5 lives in Pennsylvania
Heavy rains are pounding an already saturated Northeast for the second time in a week, spurring another round of flash flooding, canceled airline flights and power outages.

Vermont is getting flooded again as well. Thousands of airline flights were cancelled.
My kid is trying to mow the lawn. I raised the mowing height, but its still a lot of grass. I tossed a pack of twizzlers to her when I came home for lunch as bribery/sympathy, lol.

Five dead in my old stomping grounds of Washington's Crossing, named for the Christmas night crossing of the Delaware to invade Trenton in 1776.

I didn't realize my town was one of the severely impacted towns from Sunday's storms. But I took this pic off last nights local news. There I am, the lower left box.

Wolfeboro had 2 larger grocery stores. One burned down 7 months ago, the other flooded on Sunday.
I’m getting pretty sick of this rain.
Friends of ours in VT came home to 4+ feet of water in their basement.
I haven’t had anything like that, but I can’t dry mine out either.

The next pipeline project up for debate may be for rain water, rather than oil.
Been wet here, not in any devastating way, but definitely more rain than we need or normally get.

We had a storm track through here after supper, more crazy azz lightning with heavy rains for about seven minutes.
It looks like this Thursday will be another day for severe storms that could produce flash flooding.
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Thursday. These
thunderstorms could produce instances of flash flooding.
Excessive heat remains possible on Friday due to hot and humid
conditions. Maximum heat index values may rise into the low to mid
90s in valley locations.
Yesterday in seven minutes, we received 10 mm of rain or 0.394 inches, I just emptied out the rain gauge.

AccuWeather meteorologists warn that where slow-moving, heavy storms set up, rainfall totals of 1–2 inches with localized amounts of 3 inches could lead to a risk of flash flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
People in or traveling through the metro areas of (broken link removed), (broken link removed), (broken link removed), (broken link removed) and (broken link removed) will be at risk for heavy thunderstorms from Tuesday afternoon to Tuesday evening.
"Because of the vast amount of urbanization in these locations, the storms flood streets, highways and underpasses," Sosnowski said. "This alone can lead to major travel disruptions. And, as locally severe storms pass nearby the major airports, ground stops and flight delays are likely."
The bulk of the drenching storms are likely from 3-9 p.m., but there will be some exceptions, Sosnowski added.
There were storms rolling through central Pennsylvania first thing Tuesday morning. Some downpours with thunder and lightning are likely to linger well into the night along the immediate Atlantic coast.
Forecasters say residents planning to spend time outdoors in the areas at risk into Tuesday evening should closely monitor the weather forecast and be alert for changing conditions.

Average June rainfall is about 1.5" and July average is about .6". August sneaks back up to around an inch on average. Usually, that is toward the end of the month. This year we had light rain in late June for a total of 1.07" and now in July, .06" as of yesterday, with no more rain in the ten-day forecast.
The bad thing about a lot of rain and heat are the mosquitos. I remember a time in New Hampshire the weather was hot and rainy. We went camping and the mosquitos were relentless.
Now that’s funny! We didn’t receive any rain today! We’ll, some sprinkles after 5.
Thursday I’m going to be out on the Mass border. I hope it isn’t heavy rain.
I wish some of this would hit your area.
It looks like Thursday will be a wet one for our area.
Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Cloudy, with a high near 78. South wind 7 to 9 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
In previous years, I've mowed less in a combined three years than this year, I've stayed off the trails but I still have a bunch of trail work that needs doing before winter hits.

Nearly 3 inches this afternoon, in a completely un-forecast series of quick storms that rolled thru. Forecast was calling for no rain until 5pm, while it was coming down in buckets at 2pm. 
I'd send some of it your way if I could, begreen.
Our phones were all buzzing with Emergency Alerts during today's little rain storm, which seems to happen with every normal storm these days, to the point where people are just starting to ignore them when their phones go off. Hopefully the next legit emergency (Amber alert? tornado?) isn't just routinely ignored, due to such massive over-use of the system.
