A "big blow" is apparently headed our way. Rain, from one to three inches, or maybe four to eight inches, and winds, gusting to 60 or 70 mph, should wreak havoc on our town tonight or tomorrow. And one neighbor is, predictably, out nailing down the new tar paper on the new roof in the making tonight at eight-thirty pm in the dark -- since we've heard about this storm for five or six days, one wonders why he didn't start nailing sooner.
We had a little contest between the landscapers and the builders over what needs protecting, and how best to do it. The net was I found myself out with a pickaxe and shovel, digging the trough surrounding the building deep enough to drain the puddling area next to the house. Lotsa fun, though I wasn't sure just why I was doing it...
Anyway, we'll see. We'd get those "huge storm" predictions in Deer Valley, and the clouds would scud through with hardly a trace of moisture. Then, with no warning, we'd have a Big One. Must be fun to be a weather predictor.
