Part III - 6 PM

Yet another non-event comes to an end, with a whimper. TS Barry is downgraded to TD (Tropical Depression) Barry, and is rapidly becoming extra-tropical. The center is about 5 miles west of me at the moment, and moving north. We're under wind advisories until mid-nite, but it's calm right now, though it is raining.

We did most desperately need the rain, though - we've had less than half of our normal rains for two years in a row now, and the trees are really suffering. Most of this rain has been of the best kind, too, that soaks in instead of becoming instant run-off.

Back to indoor pursuits tomorrow, I hope!
