terrible weather
Yesterday it rained and poured all day with thunderstorms. There was flooding all around here, some roads and some bridges were totally washed away. We were lucky and only lost our internet connection last night. A friend who lives in Muff (about 15 minutes from Moville) couldn't get home. She, her husband and baby were stranded with some other people at a gas station. We just found out that their house is flooded and they won't be able to go back. We are listening to the radio and lots of people were affected and can't go home. Hopefully things will be worked out for each and everyone of those affected.

Terrible Bill. Wish the best for your friends.
ReplyDeleteHow terrible those floods. Mostly we have a rather simular weather with you, but we didn't have this at all. On the contrary we had a wonderful sunny day without winds. Hope weather will improve soon!
ReplyDeleteStay safe. Weird weather here too.
ReplyDeleteHope the storm blows over soon with negligible damage.
ReplyDelete...this looks like our weather from yesterday too!
ReplyDeleteUnusual weather is the thing now, isn't it? Hope your friends get through this safely!
ReplyDeleteIs this been the rainiest season or is it my imagination?
ReplyDeleteHope the situation will go back to normal and that material losses are kept to a minimum.
We must have caught that storm last night as there was torrential rain and thunder.
ReplyDeleteIts the terrible after effects like your friend's home being flooded that are the worst part.
I can't imagine what it would be like to have my home flooded Bill, there is no stopping Mother Nature at times. I hope the rain ceases and those poor folk can get things sorted out and back into their homes.
ReplyDeleteI hope the coming days brings you a lot of sunshine. Hang in there, greetings!
ReplyDeleteI wish the best for everyone, Bill! Here in Montreal we had a microburst and many trees were downed and the rain was heavy and winds were strong, and a lot of people, including myself, lost power for a couple of hours. Take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteHow awful! I hope it gets better. Your photo is lovely though.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really terrible, Bill. Hope the weather will improve soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's been rainy here too, but the flooding was more in the spring.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that is terrible. I hope things get cleared up quickly.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need heavy rains like this, I hope things work out for people.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that the tail end of the hurricane that swept up the east coast of N America? Friends in Liverpool said it was heading towards them too!
ReplyDeleteSo much rain. You commented once on mine that your daughter lived in Portland -- I imagine she feels quite at home especially in the winter -- beautiful and green here in Oregon but a lot of water from the sky to keep it that way!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, you can do without this weather can't you!
ReplyDeleteWe had thunderstorms recently too, but it wasn't as wet as this.
All the best Jan
It sounds dreadful. We're hearing about terrible floods in Texas, too. I'm glad you were home safe and sound but so sorry to hear that it's a trial for your friends and others.
