deluge in progress... (pm.13.aug.15)>

*Update @ 8:12pm... The internet data flow seems to be cruising along now.  Great.  Just updated the day's rainfall (below).  All but about one-tenth of an inch (2mm) of that amount occurred between roughly 5:40pm and 7:10pm.  That's a heck of a lot of rain in an hour and a half.  Please be careful as there are rumors of washouts and landslides in our vicinity.

Thursday's stats:

Low temp: 65.8F (18.8C)
High temp: 73.0F (22.8C)
Rainfall: 2.90" (7.4cm) -- updated @ 8:00pm

We're in the midst of a very heavy deluge here in the middle of the main market of McLeod Ganj at the moment, with a lot of rocks and debris visible in the main square, and the water running and rushing quite heavily and deeply.  

There have been internet issues all over town since mid-afternoon, and I am barely hanging on with an Air Jaldi wifi connection at the Snow Lion.  I will do my best to update the rainfall total later this evening, as the one above does not reflect this evening's downpour -- but that will depend on the status of the internet.

LANDSLIDES, ROAD WASHOUTS IN THE AREA...
