Not too bad for as long as Debby hung around.The lake in the back yard starts to recede in between bands of rain. The sun is out at times. My corn looks like it’s nearly flattened. It’s a raised bed with sweet potatoes too. It should drain but it will take time.
I forgot to bring my garden tools inside so they’re sitting in water. There’s a number of oak tree branches down. I have tree loppers to get them cut up.
I had to drive my daughter to do her necessary errands. Her car sits too low and so many streets were flooded. We had to turn around twice. But there were still people driving thru the water anyway! Once we got to 2 places, they were closed!
CSU revised the prediction slightly downward, now it's predicting 23 named storms which is still a lot. Some disturbing estimates in the 47 page 2024 predictions that it published. https://tropical.colostate.edu/Forecast/2024-08.pdfColorado State University is now calling for 25 named storms, 12 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes for this season. The Accumulated Cyclone Energy is predicted to be an extremely high 230.
