The Might Pea River is rising

Weather map on The Weather Channel on TV

Tropical Storm Lee arrived yesterday (Sunday) and it was cloudy and light rain throughout the day.  Today
was the big day here.  It was raining when we got up after being awakened by the weather radio informing us that we were under tornado watch.  Then about an hour later it got very dark outside and the tornado sirens went off.  We saw this map on TV and there was a notice that a tornado had been seen over the Elba airport, heading north.

Tornado warnings and watches, severe thunderstorms, etc. have been broadcast all day.

We went downtown for me to get a couple of photos of the Pea River which runs through Elba.  It's on its
way to being very full in the next 24 hours.  I will post some more photos this time tomorrow.  It is very
muddy and full of debris.

There was a truck with a boat trailer near the boat ramp.  I can't believe someone is on the river in all the rain and tornado warnings we've had today.

We've had almost 5" inches of rain in the past 24 hours and it's still coming down.  Glad we didn't have any high winds or thunder or lightening.   It was really just a gentle and sometimes heavy rain and feels nice and cool outside now.

We are supposed to have nice, cool weather all week.  Can't wait!
