I won't know how much rain we got but my driveway has water standing that I can see on the security cameras. Power was out for about 10 hours but it's back on now. My yard man checked the house out and other than the wind blowing my garbage can out from under the patio, it's all good.
The wind was rocking the truck last night while we slept at the truck stop near Nashville, Tennessee and gust were reportedly around 55 mph. We drove up to Kentucky today and had some heavy rain and VERY gusty winds. We are parked now and once again getting rocked a bit, expecting snow later this evening and a low of 31.

We got 0.86 inches of rain from that storm. Sure sounded like a lot more when it was beating down on the roof, though.
No damage here, just some blown off dead fronds from the palm trees. And it woke me up with some tornado warnings when I didn't want to wake up.

They were calling for rain here, and I guess they were right. If you can call 0.01" as being rain.

A quarter inch here yesterday. Windy and cold today. Looks like winter is settling in for a bit. Reminds me of winters back when I was a teenager.

Supposed to get mid 20s Tuesday and Wednesday nights, then more of the same over the weekend.
If the rest of my citrus get killed off I guess I will just be yanking them out of the ground too and be done with growing citrus.

We lost our Satsuma last year when it dropped to 17 degrees. The leaves and the tree turned black and never recovered. The Lemon tree survived. The deer are rubbing their antlers on the two Cherry trees we planted last spring. We'll see how that turns out.

I thought the satsumas was supposed to be among the hardiest of the tangerines. Sure proved that wrong in 2022. Surprisingly the navel orange and the cara cara orange did very well in the cold. Also any Meyer lemons or Changsha tangerines that grew from seed acted like they didn't even get a chill.
Grafting on cold hardy root stock is supposed to help citrus survive cold spells. What I saw that year was the complete opposite.
