Made it through last nights storms ok Duncan had a gust of 78mph at peak of the storm. The reports of the "roof" being blown off as reported by local news were greatly exaggerated...lol It was only a screen door. Temple OK however had Autozone lose it's roof entirely. Thats about 25 miles from me i guess.
Temp is now 55 degrees and light rain. We need it so badly here. The initial storm came through so quick last night it didn't leave much rain.

The leaves are already past peak here. About 50% of the leaves have fallen. In the city, the news is telling everyone to come up to see the foliage, but there is little to see. A tree here and there that has red leaves, most have the brown that is seen in a NY City park in the fall.
Still, it is a bit over two weeks before the peak was the last two years... I wonder if El Niño is going to crank up this winter?

For the most part, still green here in south Jersey. The trees will start shedding big time within the next week or two. Got my new backpack, 2 stroke , 50CC leaf blower all ready. Bring it on.
Looks like another year that the cactus needles won't be changing into fall colors.

I know nothing of this "autumn" thing of which you speak.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Just the usual thing with leaves here, brown and down. At least one good day however, partly cloudy and a balmy 75 degrees, perfect for grocery shopping on my sport utility bicycle. What's not so perfect is having eyes all around and hands on the brake levers on the lookout for blind rabbits like the one that ran me over last year.
