I just dumped another inch from my rain gauge. If we hadn't got that break overnight after several hours of training, it'd be much worse. That brings my total to 7.65 inches since late yesterday afternoon. :o
We had some rain yesterday afternoon, but it was really light until last night. It got harder and by late last night, we were having rain rates varying around 2 inches per hour, sometimes less and sometimes higher.

Southerngale, I've got my paddles handy! It's stopped raining here,
for a moment, but, we are yet to be "blessed" with the weather
that you are sending our way! LoL, poor Josh is begging for
everyone to do a raindance for Orange County, CA - if we
could just figure out how to send some of this stuff back
to him!
Stay safe!
