After 4 days of heavy rain I wish I had covered my wood pile

[JPapiPE]

Well my wood was drying very nicely until it rained for the last 4 days. On Friday the storm was so bad, lightning killed 2 people just down the road. And winds were gusting to 70-80 MPH. I didn't know the 2 people that died from the lightning strike, but the news said that the 2 people were chasing their dog that had run away with their kids eyeglasses.

Don't worry...good wood is not a spunge, it doesn't wick up much moisture. One nice sunny day and you'll be back where you started.

Sorry to hear about the toll of the storms.

Sorry to hear about the death toll on your neighbors. Hopefully some near by fuel hit the ground so something good comes out of a long storm.

I am worried about my wood drying too. I have my rows up on palates, so they are off the ground but they aren't covered. I am totally against tarps! There should be a club for " people against tarps " but I haven't found it yet! Hope my wood dries with this summer weather we have been having!

Just echoing what others have said Joe, you're wood will be fine......one dry sunny day, and you're right back where you were before the rain.

Mine's up on pallets, and got soaked last night and Fri night as well. Don't bother covinging it until sometime in Nov or so (before snow).

Heard about those two in Standish......what are the chances?
