Just a photo of what I think is one of our most handsome wild birds taken across Murray Road. As always singing “Drink your Tea” very loudly:

We got a solid 5.27 inches of rain in 90 minutes yesterday. I got exactly 0.75 during the first and most severe storm; including 1″ hail. Then a lightening struck took down my DAVIS INSTRUMENTS weather station for about 3 hours at 4:42 PM. I had the restart and reset the day to 0.00 inches of rain at 4:42PM and then re-started and began re-tallying the rain and got an additional 4.52 inches. (4.52 + .76 =5.27).
Needless to say, the creeks and rivers are very high and may still be coming up. In places, the roads are nearly impassable due to large boulders washing across.
Here are a few poor photos of my trip up to Jasper this morning:

We have only had about 0.2 inches of rain since early August. Saturday and this morning were cold by early September standards here in Arkansas. Yesterday we dropped to 47F degrees, and 46F this morning. We have a cool clear northern air flow. It will be replaced later today by a flow from the south again and bring a moderate change for thundershowers tonight and Monday morning. We do need the rain, once again. I took a few fall photos this morning on the way to Jasper for breakfast.
