Come to Texas!
Well this is not weather in our current area, but our former hometown in north Alabama, Arab.
The whole place is flooded thanks to @Bacpacker and @Peanut 's love of flash-floods.
For reference: We lived there for 28 years and it never flooded.
We would be trapped in our house for 3 days due to roads before it goes away.
Somebody call Greta!

The warnings going out early saved a lot of people. Plus, most of rush hour traffic was over before the big rains came.
Water was 30ft in those canyons off the SE side of Red mtn, especially through Hoover and Pelham. The 2 killed there were boys, 18, and his little brother, 13 who were just trying to get home.

We had 1.35" in the gadget this morning. Rain supposed to move out by mid morning. Nice weekend coming up.
95° later today. Storms Sunday night and rain next week! Will be getting my vitamin D later!!
OK, Sunday night! Large hail, 70 mph winds knocking on my door! Ooooo
Past me, past Patchouli too I hope! Just nickle size hail, but big winds.OK, Sunday night! Large hail, 70 mph winds knocking on my door! Ooooo
Looks like they vanish before getting to me. I could use a few dry days. Glad ya'll are okay.
A few tornado warnings south of Dallas/Ft Worth. Ground stop at DFW airport!

The wind was strong, kept knocking over my big ponytail palm (in a pot). I take it in the house or garage come colder temps.
Didn't see hardly any hail, @Pearl , less than pea-sized handful. Some of the lightning was ferocious and did see green skies before it got dark. We really needed the rain. Looks like rain expected through Thursday in these parts. Went from 92 to 68.

First snow of this winter, overnight. About 1/2" is all, but it sets the mood. Nice fire in the wood stove this morning, hot coffee...
Update evening: high 42, frigid wind all day.

Well today it is raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock. Temps were still in the 90's yesterday. Middle of October, and the leaves haven't even started to change. Isn't this supposed to be Fall?
80 here today. No rain since Friday
Solar EMPs do not affect electronics. They affect long transmission lines, large generators (like at power stations), and large transformers (like the large substations).
After the Texas storms and Texas 'mud rain', nice day today!! 84°, sunny, WOW! Three days of rain starting tomorrow

Winds. Lots of winds. I have never seen it this dusty before. Looks like fog there’s so much dust blowing right now. Not just here. Everywhere I’ve been today. Everything is covered with a thick layer of dirt. Absolutely miserable day. Supposed to continue through tomorrow evening.
Yuck!
Wind and blowing snow, but not cold enough to stick so it just makes slush on your windshield.
Did you move to New Mexico? That sounds like a Tuesday around here, or maybe one of the other days that end with y.
Well, I'm not moving to your house to clean.

But I'm in the mountains! The trees block most of the wind and all the sand!!!!!!
A quiet sunny day, supposed to be mid 80's tomorrow.

Looked at the weather forecast, we are looking at a week of 80 degree days and nights in the 60s, then things will start sliding down. Looks like no rain till the weekend when everyone can enjoy it....
After our mini-blizzard night before last and frigid windy day, the wind calmed down overnight and today's low was 15F. Sunny this morning.
74 no rain but VERY humid
About the same, just a little warmer. Spotty light rain around.
More rain today, heavy right now. Temps in the 70's for a week or more!
