(85,373 posts)64. I'm still alive
bad rains, bad winds, tornado watch, lightning...I drove to Lansing and back in it. Took a lot longer, though. There were stretches where I couldn't see more than 30 feet ahead, it was raining so hard.
The new stretch of road we put in drains beautifully...the rest of the place is rising seas with visible waves driven by the wind. It's going to be a long 10 years. My road is going to be done last, because 4 board members live on it, and it would look really, really bad to do ours early.
