Thunder/Lightning woke me up around 530 this morning. The storm must have been right over my house (Cougar Ridge) because there was no more than 1/2 second between the lightning and thunder.

Yah I am south of you and felt the same! Really close.

Sound like the NW end of the city is getting a lot more rain than central a south ends. Weather network says they've already had 30mm more, and could be getting 50mm more by the end of tomorrow.
So if you live in Tuscany, check your downspouts.

Fuck.

Why? For virtually pennies you could be more comfortable. I used to work with a lady who shut the gas off to her furnace at the beginning of May and wouldn't turn it back until October. You're still going to pay a bunch of monthly surcharges, the cost of gas and electricity is minor in comparison.

Heating your house is more efficient than cooling your house too. I don't like doing both on the same day, but I don't mind turning the furnace on for days like this.

Obviously call and get the gas disconnected for the summer.

Are you talking in terms of BTU per $$ of energy consumed?

Well, yes, and also on a thermodyamic level, because most of your activities in the house will release heat, while none except AC actually remove heat from the houses "system".

Or you could do the cheap thing and open up windows before sun-up for free cooling.

Thats exactly what we do - open the mainfloor windows (enough to hit the safety stop) and put an extractor fan upstairs.

The thunder is endless

[revelations]

Yea, thats unusual - here in Deer Run area. Rolling continuous thunder. Heavy downpour - gutters have no hope even though cleaned.

WMI radar - showing, literally a band of multi storms JUST over the city (no where else).

[Buster]

My eavetroughs have no hope

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Power flickered briefly in the Hamptons just now. Friends in the more inner city NW say their power is now out.

[ExtraSlow]

Eavestroughs overrun, power out in Mount Pleasant.
