I got quite excited when I saw the black as night sky and heard thunder close by.  Put the mopping up towels down under the windows which leak when it rains - then it passed me by - again...
Did anyone get rain?
I don't think the orange warning has lifted so may get it tonight or tomorrow  -  or maybe not! :wink:
I recognise your car Roscoe, it's identical to mine...

Glad to hear it missed everyone else as well...  I can now grow spuds on my car roof.  The dilemma now is do I take it through car wash tomorrow or wait for the next lot of rain to pass me by?  I think there could be more next monday....  or not....
