Storm over Westerly airport

Sometime after midnight, it finally started to rain, and rain hard and steadily. As of early afternoon, there's 4.1 inches of glorious moisture in the gauge, and there may be more to come. From the looks of these clouds over the local airport, that would definitely appear to be the case, and we're now keeping a nervous eye on the possibility of a bona fide hurricane that may visit us over the weekend. But whatever the clouds decide to bring, we're now, miraculously, on the plus side of precipitation for September, and that's something we haven't seen all summer. Maybe the drought is finally over. And as to the rain that is keeping me more or less indoors—the Lyme arthritis isn't making things easier on the hiking front either—well, as the Beatles sang, I don't mind. I definitely don't mind.
