Rough night. Severe weather rolled through beginning around 10pm and lasted hours. Heck we can still expect storms until mid morning, though at the moment now are predicted to be severe. Won't know if any damage was done until it gets light enough to venture outside for a look-see, assuming its safe to do so then.
I am vindicated, though I fervently wish I was not. At lunchtime about a week ago, on a day following a stormy night, I noticed water standing atop a portion of one of my kitchen counters near its back where it abuts a wall. (Not an outside wall. The one separating kitchen from computer room.) I looked and looked but for the life of me could find no evidence of where the water came from. I finally gave up and asked my next door neighbor, who does home repair, to take a look. He couldn't find a source either. He said I had to have spilled something and not noticed. I reluctantly accepted that verdict, though I could think of absolutely nothing I had done that might have led to a spill of that sort. In the back of my mind I could not quite believe it. Yet how could the water have gotten where it was without me causing it?
I checked that counter top at least once a day. Nothing new... until the heavy rains we had before the batch last night. At lunchtime that day I again noticed some water in that same area. Again no source could be found, but in this I "had" done a bit of very minor cleaning atop the counter earlier that day. I was very careful during that cleaning, but could not be 100% sure I had not somehow missed a bit of water spillage. This was bothering me more and more.
During last night's rains, as I was about to retire to bed, I thought to check counter. This time heavy rain was still falling, rather than me checking after the fact. Plus, I had checked the counter after supper and knew it "should" be dry. VOILA! Water atop counter. I could even see a few droplets dripping down from above. So far I've tracked the leak to the area around where the stove vent is, though exactly where the leak originates within that area still eludes me. It sort of magically appears where it shouldn't be. Still, I've enough evidence to once again badger my neighbor for assistance. (The water's passage before it reaches the counter top is rather convoluted, making it easy to see why we didn't spot it sooner.
By the time I ended my water leak investigation I was keyed up. Between that and near constant thunder so loud even I had no problem hearing it I likely got no more than 2hrs sleep, at best.
