Tropical Storm Mindulle has dissipated and departed

Google Earth Map 8 AM Aug 26

Tropical Storm Mindulle has dissipated and departed.
No major weather system for the immediate future.
Local occasional rains and thunderstorms likely.
High temperatures in the mid eighties
High humidity starting this weekend, will raise the FEELS LIKE temperatures to the lower to mid 100's (F)

Local officials seemed to have taken the opportunity created by the break in the weather and where out reducing the spread of Mosquitoes. They started only a few houses down the street. When I heard the very recognizable sound of fumigation, I had only seconds to react to call my dogs inside and seal all doors and windows.
Did get a small dose, enough to keep me coughing for a few minutes.

Really hope my neighbors had already taken their toddlers out to daycare

After the air cleared it was time to do a bit of pest eradication myself. With my dish soap spray I went after ants and crawly things, frogs, toads and hoppers.

The soggy soil seems to be sprouting a variety of fungi.
