That's what we had yesterday, with rain, rain, rain. Today the cold front moved in, and it is clear, cold and windy. Well, not cold, but the wind is really cold and sharp.

Hold on to something Stony. The edge of the front hit here a little bit ago - will be there any moment.
Sounds like someone using a fire hose on the side of the house!

I thought my house was going to do a Wizard of Oz just a little bit ago. It's calmed down a little bit to just a steady rain instead of a downpour.

It was bad up here on the hill but we're down to just the rumbeling and dripping now.
Nothing left but to wait for sunrise to see if there's any damage.
