Don't know how bad this storm will be but it is getting some attention where I work.  Be careful out there.

The whole west side just got dumped on (thunder and lightning weren't that bad, but man did the sky open up). 

Renni and WWC will be closed for awhile after this one I think. Even Poston might have had enough water at this point. 

Just sayin.

I did a U-turn at the State Park Gate just as the rain started. Doh

I live six miles away and we got drenched. Weather on the West side is crazy - left Renni in a downpour once and before I got to Billy Graham the sun was out (the reverse has happened as well). 

W---eeeeeee----sssssss---t. (You gotta do the "W" with your fingers and get a grill for the effect to really sink in). 

I'll probably give it until Saturday to dry out (and on Saturdays you can tag along behind that Hungarian woman that runs out there...) Before you judge me too much, there's no sense in passing her, she'll just pass you later (and man THAT"s embarrassing - I mean, you're happy and all, but still).  Roll Eyes

Yep. I got out of the woods in that area just in time. Traffic lights out all of the place and standing water on most roadways.

I had a group from Camping World at LNSP yesterday and we finished right before that storm hit. There were a few guys wanting to ride, but changed their minds when it started getting real stormy. I took the tools back to the Maint. shed in a pouring rain and real hard wind. There were limbs and leaves down in the state road. Traffic was real slow on the way home.
