Yesterday was pretty much a washout as heavy rain from a slow moving storm that stayed over Stearns County for hour hit around noon. The worst of it was in Sartell, MN which is just to the west of Saint Cloud, MN. From what I heard over the scanner, they called into MPX (local weather service) and reported that their weather station at the police and fire hall building measured 4.4 inches of rain in about an hour.
I had to stick around the house until the worst of it was over as I wanted to make sure our yard and house did not get flooded and since it was just Laura and me yesterday, I was not going to take her out in the heavy rain.
So this was the first real Daddy And Daughter storm chase for us while mom was working all day. It was local and we were able to get out of the house for a little while. She got to watch dad work
The rain did move out and the water slowly drained away so that by 6:00 P.M. the evening was nice and the sky was perfect for fireworks. On the down side, after the rain, their was pretty much no wind so all the fireworks smoke just kind of hung in the air.
This was Laura’s first real fireworks show that she was able to really understand what was happening and enjoy. The ones in the years past she was just to young to understand what was happening but this year she had fun. As soon as the show started, all she could say was “look fireworks fireworks fireworks”
Also if you did not notice, this is a blog update with a recent blog update of recent events. Turns out I was on the right path all along as Facebook had another major outage this week where all the images pretty much crashed. Back to working on the website move and planning the next live stream event. Thinking I will do another funny live stream reviewing all the held comments on the youtube channel.
