Thunder storms rumble through

We got up early as usual and noticed that it was overcast outside. I poured me some coffee and sat down at the computer to check out what the weather was going to be. Partly cloudy and the chance of rain sometime in the afternoon. They gave a time that it would start but lately they have had us anticipating rain that never comes.
I decided to just finish my coffee and fix me some breakfast and not worry about fertilizing the lawn as I had previously planned. Being the conscientious home owner that I am now I have been trying to green up the lawn and make it look good. Fertilizing was one of the things that I felt was the most important for the lawn. We have a good stand of St Augustine grass with a bit of Bermuda mixed in. With such a good start I would hate to see it die under my watch.
Well about 1:00 pm Sherri came out to the shop and told me that there was a thunder storm approaching and I should think about fertilizing. Well I guess the weather guys had got this one right so I went into low gear to get the yard done before the rain hit.
I finished up while it was raining and glad I did because it rained like there was no tomorrow! I have not checked the rain gauge but it has to be well over an inch.
With the rain came winds in excess of 50 mph. We lost a section of fence and some pickets here and there. I will be busy getting that all repaired...

Did you have a lot of lightening last night? I saw a lot east of us around 11-12, but no thunder. It looked like it was east of Terrell. Just beautiful but I knew it had the potential for twisters.
