We had a little bit of sunshine yesterday, interspersed with showers, in the aftermath of Storm Ellen. One of those 'Oh, it's sunny let's go out - No, it's raining better go in.' days. Seemingly continuing today.
We got off okay. Just one gust around 60 knots in the middle of the night, but mostly winds in the range of 40 knots, and little damage. Storm Ellen brought us much rain -- buckets full all around the house. Newport had 28.8 mm rain on the 20th, 4 mm on the 21st, and 5.5 on the 22nd. I haven't gotten into the vineyard to see the grapes, but the vines looked fine from the orchard, as far as I got before the rain yesterday. And it's not supposed to let up much.
There are two Tropical Storms in the Atlantic heading for the Gulf of Mexico. If they become hurricanes, it will be the first time two hurricanes enter the Gulf at the same time ever. Texas is bracing to take the brunt. Fortunately, those storms are not forecast to come our way. Fingers crossed.
CUMULATIVE RAINFALL GRAPHS
