Hurricane Jeanne is over

September 28, 2004

Hurricane Jeanne is over. We’ve survived another one. Our house held up well. We had some shingles flopping around, but no damage and no leaks. We had winds of 50-70 miles per hour. Kay measured about 7 inches of rainfall in our rain gauge.

How does a rain gauge measure rain flying horizontally? If we measured 7 inches of vertical rain, I wonder how many inches we got of horizontal rain?

Newsmen reported that the farmers almanac predicted 5 hurricanes for Florida this season. They are saying we may have one more. I sure hope that Ivan counts twice, since it passed over Florida twice in its amazing journey.
