This is Part I of the Monday blog:
I had a phone call from Shari Brennan, last evening, telling me that there had been a great deal of storm damage yesterday afternoon in the vicinity of Paris Station. It's just getting light: I'm on my way! Check for photos later this morning.
****************
It's Garbage Day!!
66 degrees: no more rain.
WKTV predicts that: "We expect to see a mainly dry day, with some sunshine in the late morning and early afternoon. As we progress through the day though, scattered showers will develop from a weak distrubance that will zip by late in the day. We don't expect much out of this, but still the chace for showers can't be ruled out from tomorrow afternoon through tomorrow night. Highs will be near 80 depending on how much sun we see.66 degrees: no more rain.
A slow moving large scale disturbance will park itself across the region this week. Scattered showers and storms will be part of our forecast from Monday through Thursday. No real washouts or significant amounts of rainfall are anticipated."

It was HOT!
and
HUMID!
and I wasn't the only one who didn't
attend Field Days events as much as I normally do.
On Saturday afternoon, the Field was nearly empty ..........
with the most activity taking place on the Softball Diamond.
On Brouillette Road, the Eisenhuts' cows found a "water park" to cool down in.
On Saturday evening, I wasn't in time to get a parking spot to watch the parade AND be able to get from one location to another, and so I apologize for the lack of photographs.
If you're really starved for Field Days shots,

Sunday morning was better,

ELSEWHERE ........

ELSEWHERE ........
There are signs on both the north and south sides of "Hubbard's Corners" - where Summit Road meets Route 12.
Hopefully, we won't have to inch out onto the road to see if we're going to be hit!
Also: there's some large-scale digging going on next to Loomis Road and in a cornfield next to Frog Park Road in Stockwell. The explanation is: "They (Tennessee Gas) are testing the pipeline."

Have a Good Day, Everyone!

PART II
(Click to enlarge image.)
Well! That was a mighty powerful storm!
Yesterday afternoon all of this material was nicely stacked inside a storage shed at Lincoln-Davies.
But then the shed moved ..... as much as 25'.
On Crooked Hill Road, acres of corn are nearly flat on the ground - but all aiming in the same direction: not really typical of a microburst.
At the Brennans', on Doolittle Road, scores of ancient Norway Spruce were snapped off.
The same sort of damage can be seen at the corner of Crooked Hill and Greens Crossing Roads.
*********************
I didn't seen ANY seriously damaged residential structures nor has anyone heard of any personal injuries suffered during the storm.
