It was 3:13 a.m. on my clock when I was awakened this morning by a loud crack of thunder and then another and another. The rain began to fall and as I looked out my window, it was really cascading down, the drops backlit by a streetlight. It was one of those lightning storms wherein you can almost read a book in the dark by the light of the all the continuing flashes. <\/p>\n
I knew that the forecast had called for lightning, so I unplugged my computer before going to bed. The KMA (see previous post) has a good radar map that shows how heavily the current rainfall is per hour. I got up and plugged the computer in and navigated to the website. The radar showed that it was raining about 50 millimeters per hour, which is 5 centimeters, which is about 2 inches (2.5 cm = 1 inch). That’s a pretty good rate. The storm lasted about half an hour or so, and when I got up a few hours later, I went to the website again and found that Yeosu had received 32 mm since midnight, with most of that coming down during the storm, I assume. Quite a downpour in such a short time.<\/p>\n
We had 70 mm yesterday and rain is in the forecast through tomorrow morning. It’s feeling quite wet here.<\/p>\n
I watched the All-Star game and was happy to see that the AL beat the NL team, again. It’s great that the Yanks will have home-field advantage in the World Series. (I suppose I just jinxed them, again.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
