6.32 inches of rain from 8am Saturday to 8am Sunday.  That doesn't count the wind, and the highest gust speed reported around here was only in the 60s.

yeah, but there's body damage above it, too.

I had terrible damage. It didn't rain and blow enough here to give me a good excuse to get out of yard work and play games all day.  >:(   Damn Global Warming! What the hell's it good for anyway. Hope everyone came-out OK.

No damage, just a lot of wind and rain.

I am proud to say I have never stopped at Pedro's. And I never will.  ^-^

Not nearly as bad for us as the areas east and south of us.

Still, we lost about $200 in refrigerated food we had to replace, but $100 or so in eating out b/c we had no power. 
Overall not too bad, but our margins for error are still very thin here.

A Great-Big 'Thanks' to all who PM'ed me during and after the storm with well-wishes. You're all a great bunch, even if a tad on the shady side.

I'm sorry that y'all have had such a bad time. Here's hoping that those of you affected can get back to normal quickly, and will get state help to make things easier to cope.
