I had rain Friday night, sprinkle Saturday am. then overcast rest of am., by noon winds began picking up with some nasty gusts. Around 4:30 pm I was driving through the neighborhood a healthy oak tree lost a branch (3 to 3 ½ ft in diameter) that covered most of the street. Learned another tree went down across a street not far from where I was. Thunderstorms started around 9 pm. 2:15 am? I woke up to very fast moving thunder storm lots of lightning flashing and thunder booming very, very close. I have no Idea how much rain fell. I wonder what the day will reveal.
