    Currently sitting here with a tornado warning going on and the rain beating against the house, feeling very happy that I put my potted plants in the garage this evening.

    Stay safe all!

      Evening sky.

      Dark skies over a meadow, somewhat pinkified at the tops by the setting sun.

          Rats! Happened to be outside and glanced up at the wind charger tower, to see the anemometer wasn't turning. It's several years old now, and lives in quite harsh conditions.
          I climbed the pole and got it down. There's not much you can really do with these things without breaking seals, but a clean with WD40 equivalent seemed to make it happier. The entire unit at the end of its post was shoogly, so that's tightened now too, and probably where corrosion has got in. I'll need a new one

                Welp, at least now I know that not only does my radio go off when some bad stuff is coming our way, my phone will also bleat out critical emergency alerts, even on silent.

                That's what woke me up, right before the weather radio went off. So of course I spent about two hours overnight watching until he told us that we could go back to sleep. 😮‍💨

                My area was the star of the stream!

                To my knowledge, no touchdowns, but there were three or four areas of rotation in the huge bow of thunderstorms that came through. It was pretty spectacular to watch all that on radar and hear it all come through so quickly. We didn't have any damage, thankfully.

                And, oddly, we just had one blip of the power going out.

                Normally, when our power goes out it's usually during a light, steady rain -- and then it's out for hours.

                During these intense thunderstorms, it's actually been more rare to lose power unless a tree falls on a transmission line.

                I don't understand that at all. Then again I don't understand electricity -- or the energy company -- either.

                I figure when it's a light rain, it's just particularly good for dissolving the squirrel spit that they keep our transmission lines together with up here (because they hate us, and they of course need to make sure that their CEO can still fly around the country in a jet and eat steak and send his kids to private schools or whatever).

                Must be different magical physics when it's a thunderstorm with high winds and heavy rain vs a light rain. 🤷⚡️⛈️

                  One weather app is still saying there’s a high probability of rain today, while the other one predicts clear skies.

                  I wonder which one will be correct?

                    Finished my (hopefully) precision outdoor temperature & humidity sensor. I made a small case for the esp32-h2 to mount it outside of the screen to have it far away from the sensor but still protected.

                    Still have my old unprotected sensor up to be able to compare measurements.

                      Yellow is a switchbot bluetooth sensor in the shadow but allegedly with too much influence from the house.
                      Blue is a ds18b20 that jumps up as soon as it's in direct sunlight.
                      Red is the new sht45 in a stevenson screen that will also see direct sunlight for the next ~two hours.

                        So the air and sensor inside this screen heats up as bad as the unprotected sensor. 💩
