May 4, 2009: Farm house – Christmas lights? Cloudy day. Tornado in Graves County

A few light rain showers around today. The farm had 0.76" of rainfall in the past 24 hours. That makes between 3.5-4.0 for the whole event since last Wednesday. Impressive rainfall totals.

Rainfall totals for the farm:

April 28th 1.06"
April 29th 0.00
April 30th-May 1st = 1.98
May 2nd – 0.28"
May 3rd – 0.76"
Total = 4.08"

Another tornado hit in Graves County and near Almo (south of Joey’s parents). Second one this year. It was rated EF0. It struck on the 30th. We saw the storm on radar and it was appeared rather impressive. No warning was issued, though.

Some indications that we may see some severe weather episodes around May 14-18th. Will keep an eye.

Cloudy for the most part today, though. Seems like it is always cloudy. Lately. We need sun. Maybe tomorrow. Then more rain tomorrow night and Wednesday. Believe the heaviest rain will stay south of our region, though. No more rain is needed in this area. More rain is also possible towards the end of the week. Storms will also be possible.

Met with LawnTech today at the farm. Discussed the Christmas lights that we had at Ashcreek and how we can move those over to this house. We will need to add a few strands, but otherwise believe we are good to go.

Cloudy day – scattered showers.
