Woke up to continued hard rain. We thought it would crap out after a couple hours because it was raining so hard and figured the storm couldn’t deliver too much more. We were wrong. It rained for about 10 of the 12 light hours of the day and it rained hard. The weather channel indicated the were a couple times during the day where it was raining 2 inches per hour and it appeared they were not fibbing. There was a short lull in the action so Peg and I went to a local Trader Joe’s to stock up on food and get diesel for tomorrow’s trip. No sooner had we returned when it started raining very hard again.
I am glad we have sealed up all the possible leaks in the Invader because if we hadn’t we would have drowned inside this box. All the heaters work and the TV is getting about 20 channels so we are hunkered down inside, nice and cozy. There are repeated flash flood, thunderstorm and a few tornado advisories coming up on the tube and phone but we are up a grade and have not spotted any tornadoes, as of 7:40 PM. Hope the tornadoes, if any, go elsewhere. If it gets hairy tonight, I think I’ll go to Hendrick Motors up the street. He is an owner of not less than about 4 Sprint Cup teams and he also owns teams in the lower divisions. I figure he should have been able to afford pretty good buildings with his millions.
