Getting dumped on.
I am the last house before Westport. It was flat out dumping tropical rainYeah I was looking at the radarscope data and it has been running a bit high on its estimates but you still got smacked. Literally maybe a mile or so east of me? Just brutal but the night is young and lots of boundaries firing north of us still.

Crushed was a strong word but did pick up .85. Total 1.47 for the month now, making progressGetting crushed![]()
Looks like the HRRR was right.
I'm in the same boat in terms of rainfall so far. Just 0.06" last two days. It is raining this morning, so we got that. In terms of a garden, mine is about as good as it's ever been but I have been watering quite a bit. Now, my garden is not very big and easily manageable. This upcoming el nino should really catch us up on rainfall but probably not until winter/spring 27.Missed in every direction the last 3 days - .06 in total - which .05 evaporated on contact with the ground.
Frustrating for sure - but it will rain again one day, I am sure of that. My vegetable garden is just about hosed - its impossible to keep it looking good and healthy. I should have taken the advise on here back in March/April which was to not have a garden because of the extended drought conditions. That was the correct assessment and the right advice -

The dry pattern that was advertised is the reason I didn't grow a vegetable garden for the first time in about ten years. I miss my homegrown tomatoes and other goodies but it would have been a waste of time and effort in the dry conditions we have been experiencing with no irrigation. If the overall pattern changes maybe I will grow a fall garden with some collards and turnip greens.Missed in every direction the last 3 days - .06 in total - which .05 evaporated on contact with the ground.
