Weather

Must say that the weather these days is certainly interesting and sometimes challenging. This afternoon after a nice lunch with friends celebrating-yup my birthday, we got back to work and the rains and hail came down. We had not looked out but once the rain started we knew that this was no mere rain shower. A number of students told us that a tornado had passed by. I don't think that it caused major damage but certainly we should all start thinking about making sure that our garden furniture is secure. I have never heard of a tornado in the city before.
Getting home was a challenge, roads were flooded mainly because the sewers had been covered with seeds and other natural debris after the recent rains and it had not occurred to anyone that future rains would create problems on the streets as the rain had no way of getting down the sewers. The sun is shining now and it is hard to believe that it was so wild earlier. Hopefully, the sewers will be cleared before the next rain.
We have not had to use the hose on the garden for sometime, there has been plenty of rain. A day of sunshine would be nice. Hoping that tomorrow will be a nice day.
