We are being threatened with heavy rain for Wednesday and Thursday.
Should break our mini heatwave.

Friends in and around Houston still without power.I'm just a little SW of San Antonio and we didn't get so much as a sprinkle from Beryl. The breeze barely moved the leaves. We had it worse about five days ago. High winds and about 1.5" of rain from a totally different system.

Large area, generators are a godsend. Stay safe and cool and keep fuel on hand y'all.

11 am, the day after
Still no power, but our internet is back up. We've been using our cell phones.
I thought this was interesting.
"As of last night…more than 95 tornado warnings were issued in the eastern side “dirty side” of Beryl, affecting SETX, East Texas, and Louisiana.
NWS Shreveport issued tornado warnings, breaking the previous record set by the office for the most warnings in a single day (36). Additionally, this number of warnings also ties the record for the most tornado warnings issued in an entire month."

We're not far from there. We didn't have high winds or lightning here.
Mrs. went to Longview a bit ago. I'll ask her how Gilmer looked enroute when she returns. (We have to go through Gilmer to get there).

I was in Pittsburg, Tx and it was a no show as far as hurricanes go. Thank God.

Day 2
22 hours without power. Oncor, the power company, says they are aware of it, and their website says there is an outage at our place that's affecting 45 homes. I guess we're small potatoes for them when there are areas with thousands of homes without power.
We have a small window AC unit that I put in that helps with the humidity. We have 6 box fans moving the air around. Fridge and freezer are on the generator.
We have everything we need, it's just a waiting game until the power comes back on.

The longest I can remember being out of power was about 5 days. That was in 2002 for Hurricane Lilly.
About 2 years ago I installed a 24kw generator that will power my whole house and my shop. I had to run about 850' of 1" natural gas line to get to my generator. Since March 1, 2023, it has run for 13 hours that we were out of power.
It was expensive, but I am really happy that I made the investment, every time the power goes out.
