Pattern Dry July 2024

Before and after pics of the storm that came thru here in southeast Bartow county, GA this evening. It looked pretty threatening at first, but ended up being pretty much nothing here, despite being severe warned. Here at my place, we have gotten some rain the last week or two, but nowhere near what most have gotten lately around here, and certainly not enough in my local area.

We got pounded here tonight. That storm had the worst lightning I have seen in a long time, but thankfully it got no closer than about a mile from me. It was still close enough to be scary though, and was constant for about 20 minutes.

I just had a rumble of thunder probably registered about a 5 on the Richter scale… lol. It’s been absolutely dumping rain for the last 20 minutes..: heaviest downpour of the month and it may put me over 14” for July.
 
Here we go again!

Due to much faster movement than recent storms, the strong effects from this one lasted only ~15 minutes. However, the wind from this at the start was probably the strongest yet of the many July thunderstorms here. The rain was torrential and the combo of that with wind strength/direction actually blew in some water under the door into the foyer. The short duration prevented major street flooding. I’ll check my rainfall later.

Edit: I got ~1” and that was mainly from 15 minutes of torrential downpours.

Yesterday’s thunderstorm could easily have qualified as severe imho due to high winds near the start. I can’t recall the last time I had a puddle just inside the foyer due to the wind blowing so hard (evidently right toward the door) allowing it to sneak underneath despite it being a pretty tight space. Also, whereas I didn’t lose power, I saw a good number of traffic lights that were still out a couple of hours after the storm not too far from me.

Yesterday’s rainfall at my place ended up at ~1”. That gave me a grand total of ~12.25” for July. What a stormy and wet month! This was the wettest month here since the similar 13.25" during August of 2022 (not that long ago).

Just since July 19th, I got ~9.25”! The last time it was this wet here during that short a period was the 10” I got Sept. 1-10, 2022. June through Sept. 10 of 2022 was incredibly wet here, pushing the water table all of the way up, which lead to AC condensation drain line backup.

Inside the house I had a hottest of ~88 for the month and probably for all-time due to no AC for a couple of days.
