Wow, and I thought I was doing well, lol. I got another inch this morning, so that's 3 1/4 in three days...but you are clearly the champ! Congrats..don't knock the flooding, any rain in summer is good rain considering all the droughts we've seen since the early 80's. Just don't build on a flood plain, or low ground, and you'll be alright, even in a TD Alberto scenarioBOOM! Today took the cake with a whopping 3.5" of rain in just one hour from a very heavy thunderstorm 4:15-5:15 PM that formed along a stationary front!! This was likely the heaviest rainfall I've witnessed here in one hour in at least several years. Numerous streets were impassible, ditches/canals were bankful or overflowing. Many cars got stuck. What made this worse was that it fell near high tide and the ground was already saturated from ~5-6" of rain just the prior 4 days, which included near 3/4" yesterday. Total for the last 5 days near an incredible 8.5-9"!! Month to date is near 10.5-12" vs normal of only 3.5"...so I've received ~triple the normal.
I bet we'll end up with around an inch of rain next week.
It's early yet. I don't think we need to be calling it a bust yet. This severe thunderstorm watch is well placed.Dud up here on round 2! Why they wasted a STW for this crap, I’ll never understand! Glad I got my .22” of stratoform rain this morning! The big wet just keeps truckin!![]()
Definitely!Hrrr has 1-2 here through tomorrow morning. Skeptical

Nice. That mess is putting on a light show. Looks like it’s about 30 minutes away from me. Not sure it’ll hold together that long. Oh, and Greg Fisher just called me. STW. Kiss of death.Not too far NW. Its here

Lots of small limbs down hereCan’t wait to see the damage in the morning.
We have a few small trees down in the neighborhood. I have several large limbs down with a bunch of smaller ones all over the yard. Another clean-up day. Yay. At least the power only stayed off for a couple hours. Not sure how much rain we got, but it was a lot. It was a dark and stormy night. Not a bad way to kick off the Big Wet!Lots of small limbs down here
