You all better get ready. Big ol' mean storm is coming. 60 mph winds and twisters. Luckily none have touched down yet.
Button up and take care of yourself buddy. Hope you don't live on top of a hill.
Finally got to see if my new gutters work. Had replacements this summer and hadn't been wet, yet. Was wondering if I should have saved my money...
Have been told that gutters with helmits won't catch heavy downpours, but today was as heavy as any you can concieve and nothing flowed over.
Additional downspouts (larger as well) emptied them as quickly as it fell. I am pleased.
No local damage although some downtown streets flooded and some limbs fell in other areas. My yard of dry straw finally got a good drink.
My daughter reported that her husband finally cleaned out their gutters this morning (Nothing like waiting till the last moment) Just before the 1.6" fell.
