Here comes the Rain

[pennwalk]

Holy Mackerel! We are coming up on 5" in the rain gauge since midnight. I woke up this morning wondering what I should do today. Mother Nature provides. Between the clogged gutters, a leak in the roof and water in the basement boredom won't be the problem today.

Not as bad here on east side yet Chris,almost 1 1/2" since 9am this morning and weather station more heavier rain late tonight...we need rain bad but not hours on end of down pours.

We aren't getting those numbers in this part of the state Thomas, but looks like tonight and tomorrow will bring heavy rains.

We can use an extended soaking rain storm...

I wish you guys could send some of that our way. We have had less than 1 inch since July.

Light rain this morning - a little under 3 inch total - a few area roads closed because of washouts. Overall could have been much worse.

We had torrential rain about 5 days ago .... dunno exactly how much it was .... probably over an inch and maybe as much as 2" .....

Wouldn't have been a real big problem ..... we could certainly use the rain (fairly dry August and early September) .... except for the fact that I had over 250' of open trenches for a french drain system I'm installing .....

The forecast went from predicting about 1/4" of rain up to predicting 2"+ .....

I suppose I was lucky .... only had one small area of trench collapse .... current problem is with the weather over the past couple of days since (cool, mostly overcast) the trench bottoms have not dried out and as of yesterday were still pretty mucky ........

Hope they are dry enough to work in them today .... so I can get them closed up .... before more rain hits tomorrow and Sunday ...

The north end of our island, which is 280 miles long, received a lot of rain a few days ago. Lots of land slides, flooding like they have never seen before and several villages and towns are cut off for several weeks as roads and bridges are washed out. One village got over 13 inches :shocked: in one day.

round 1, earlier in the week 2"
round 2, 5"

I discovered this morning that one of pipes at the bottom of a downspout had come off, dumping all the water along the house.
