Winter Thunder

Our area is under a couple of weather warnings tonight/tomorrow. One is for flash flooding; we don't tend to get river walls here, but fields do flood over the roads. It's been raining off and on for hours -- I can hear the thunder -- and the ground was already saturated from meltwater. The other is for high winds, a more serious threat. Positive thoughts for the safety of Fieldhaven territory and folks would be welcome.

So far, so good. The roads have water over them in places, which is not unusual. We've had some wind, and the warning isn't past yet, but it's scaling downward; no visible damage at this point, for which we are duly grateful.

So your trees are good at breaking wind, eh? *Giggles*

The street outside our building is full of rushing water. Our building will be fine, but I suspect that the low spots in communities all around us will flood again.

Some of the small businesses just a couple of miles down the road are badly hurt by such torrential rains every time we have a downpour this bad.
