somehow heard a rumble of thunder through our ceiling fan, stand up fan and white noise machine.

didn't know it rained in East Lansing until I went out and saw some standing puddles.

Lightning kept setting off an alert on my phone from the security camera, the thunder wasn't really loud enough to wake me up. I shut the camera off and went back to sleep.

There was quite a bit of thunder and lightning for a few hours. Thankfully, the center of the storm was far enough away that the noise wasn’t horrible. Even my dog made it through the night without needing medication. The rains, though, were furious for a little while, then slow and steady the rest of the time.

It’s on those extra muggy days that Kingston can blame his failing deodorant for why he smells so bad. It’s on the nice days when those around him realize he never actually wears deodorant and always smells hideous.

I get alerts when moths play kamikaze into my security cams. Kind of fun to watch.

Feels like Florida today.

If it helps, I’ll hop in the car and drive around with my turn signal on.

92. Feels like 100.

15% chance of a pop up shower.

went running at 6:00 AM. Was 72 degrees with a dew point of 68°.

sweated through that.. otherwise, haven't been outside. Clouded up a bit ago.

looking like it's going to cool down some and dry out by Friday. Looking forward to that.

Heavy rains already totaling nearly an inch, lots of thunder and lightning. Dog is not happy. This will continue for another couple of hours.

Raining very hard and some nice lightning so morning walk not happening. Doesn't matter because shoes are still soaked from yesterday afternoon's drenching.

by **The Pantry** 2021-08-12, 05:36

Just got to work. Even with the umbrella I got sorta soaked going from car to the building.

by **Jake from State Farm** 2021-08-12, 08:11

I've got power, the houses across the road from me don't. Sucks to be them.
The one really close lightning strike I heard last night must have got it. Sounded like rapid fire cracking, six hits spaced really close together. Made me jump.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2021-08-12, 08:21

Lots of flooding in places where there isn’t usually flooding but otherwise the neighborhood looks mostly fine. The baby did not like all of the thunder though so I didn’t really sleep much so I’m probably going to spend the day yelling at all of you deal with it.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2021-08-12, 08:23

lots of flooding around East Lansing.

whatever the apartment complex is on Abbot, just north of the fire station - I bet there are about 20 cars underwater. That place is very low-lying already, but 5-6 inches of rain over the span of an hour or two doesn't help.

looked like a mess, but certainly not the first time that place has flooded.

Got to the office this morning and found a tree cleaved in three by lightning

Villa Monte? At least I think that's what it used to be called. That place has flooded ever since it was built.

yeah, that sounds about right.

and, yeah, even though the apartment structure itself seems to be elevated just a bit, that parking lot seems like it's below sea level - Post your current weather status - Page 13 502811600

I've lived in East Lansing for 26 years and, yeah, I think it was flooded when they built it. A heavy dew and it's underwater.

Lost power Tuesday night
Then saw the estimated time jump all day.
First in was 9:30 am Wednesday then 1:30pm Strong winds around 12:30 pm saw 1:30 got bumped to before 5:00pm Friday.

But about 10:30 last night it was back. AC took about 2 hr to get rid of 24 hr of humidity. Life without AC is uncomfortable. Life without electricity just plain sucks.

Neighbor came over and said the lightning I heard hit a cottonwood tree in her backyard. Blew a bunch of bark off it but the tree is still in one piece. She has an app that shows lightning strikes and it was showing a crazy amount in our area.

a colleague said his rain gauge (in DeWitt) measured 5 inches of rain.

I'm not sure why someone would have a rain gauge, but he has a PhD in physical chemistry so it seems likely that he would.
