Bunyan Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Got a half inch in upper La Floresta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 It stopped here before 7 PM I'm guessing at most a quarter of an inch, The weather station further East only had 0.01 inches. Oh well every drop helps fill the lake. Have a good and I hope wet, outdoors only, evening . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giltner68 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yep, only .01" in Riberas, but at least we lost power just like the old days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Sadly, it's not raining anymore but let's hope it does. There was no power outage in my part of Upper West Ajijic, However over the past 5 weeks there have been maybe 5 very short outages, just long enough to require those electric clocks not backed up by my Solar backup system to need to be reset. Those electric clocks connected to the single phase that is backed up by too many solar panels and 8 deep cell Trojan golf cart batteries, never go out. Therefore those clocks connected to this phase, don't need to be reset I love my solar system EDIT 8:45 PM: It just started to rain fairly hard again as I was posting that sadly "it had stopped". Let's hope we get at least a half inch this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 It started raining really hard around 9 p.m. in Chapala and is still going strong a half hour later complete with thunder and lightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well, I would move, but without CFE I can't get the front gate open - ha. We have power and rain now so we're twice blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensley Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 CFE was across the street when the big boom happened so they had it back on within 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 It started raining really hard around 9 p.m. in Chapala and is still going strong a half hour later complete with thunder and lightening. I am so sorry to hear that the lightning and heavy rain had that effect upon you: lightening |ˈlītn-iNG, ˈlītniNG| noun a drop in the level of the uterus during the last weeks of pregnancy as the head of the fetus engages in the pelvis. lightning |ˈlītniNG| noun the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud, accompanied by a bright flash and typically also thunder: a tremendous flash of lightning.

Osoprehistorico Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I am so sorry to hear that the lightning and heavy rain had that effect upon you: Ask any OB doctor you know about the increased birth rate during thunder storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Brings up a great point, I (especially) and others, struggle with English even after all these years, how can you possibly imagine we'll ever learn Spanish? Also brings up another great point, we all assumed after we graduated we'd be free of teachers corrections - as it appears, not so, once a teacher, always a teacher even into our dotage - ha.

RVGRINGO Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Spanish is easier to spell, since it is a much more phonetic language. It also helps one to pronounce words correctly. Some saw the humor in my post; the weatherman did not, evidently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Bob, I'm always amused by your posts, you just need to lighten up a bit, your old school teacher habits are still in tact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The poor lady described the violence of the storm and said she experienced lightening. One might wonder if she gave birth that night. Oh well....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunyan Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 RV, I had a father-in-law just like you once. I still do, but he's mellowed considerably. We now enjoy his intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have always greatly appreciated RV's posts. Being a bad speller, I loved even more what he wrote about spelling the different definitions of lightening and lightning Because that could have been me spelling slightly wrong. I do it way too oftin. He's making these posts with a smile on his face hoping we can have a good laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks, guys. Those of us from the far northeast part of the country do tend to be a bit acerbic, but generally with friendly intent. Those who do not recognize that, may feel put upon until they give it some thought. If the latter is a difficult task, they remain put upon, I guess.

giltner68 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Wow, here's a dramatic example illustrating the rain variation across the N shore. Last night Riberas got at least 1.75", a second Riberas station reported 1.84" in a torrential downpour. Rancho del Oro reports something like .04" in that same period. Where is John of Ajijic to complain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TioBob Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Here in Upper La Floresta I got about one eighth of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
