I left work the other day as a wicked thunderstorm rolled into the area and raced home, attempting to beat it.

We had a day-long rain with a chill east wind, 23 mm of rain fell. A warm front has swept through, scrubbing out the rain (for now). We had a front row seat as a thunderstorm developed then moved off to our east. This is the trailing end of the storm, still building. Air is really a fluid, clouds accentuate that and are dynamic, compelling sculpture.
Still standing
Two weeks ago we erected this hoop house over the raised bed. Last night we had a wicked thunderstorm with about 15mm of rain, wind gusts to perhaps 70 kph, and about five minutes of pea sized hail. We were very pleased to see the hoop house still in place today, protecting our mesclun mix, bulls blood beets, radishes, carrots, and other seedlings.
