much flooding in several locations, most what you'd expect like n. 2nd and train tracks. many traffic lights out. many power lines arcing/down. if you can, just stay home! and, remember lightning safety: stay away from metalic objects, stay off the corded phone, don't take a shower, etc. pretty good hail and wind at the beginning of the storm. of course, gnomedog is really scared. he was from twenty minutes before storm's arrival. more weather may be coming.

Nice of them to extend the warning - especially as 7:00 is almost the precise moment when the skies opened down here!!!

Just came back from Wakarusa. It was really bad out there for a while. All the performances are being moved to the big tent, so I don't know who is playing when, but David Grisman was starting when I left.

Just got back from Wakarusa. Grisman put on a great show, but it was shortened because of the rain delay. It was in the big tent, where I weathered the storm. It rained hard with lots of lightning and wind for about 40 minutes.The Avett Brothers are probably about to finish up, and Split Lip will close things out. They stop at 11.

Yep, still here, nothing going on down here now except for a light rain and some rumbling. It came down pretty good before but passed by pretty fast.
