have I had water in the wx station office here. Quickly seeping in from 2" in 90 minutes and 5.25" this week. And I'm on the top of a hill :o

Flood Warnings and creeks nearing bankful so I'm off to do the SkyWARN thing.

Thanks. Water stopped coming in shortly after the rain which seemed to train for 2 hours but must have been less. Carpet stinks :( but everything should dry out. Didn't get to the wx 'puters but it's galling to have all this stuff and the new furniture installed on Monday and Friday get water for the first time since 1996 :grr:

Oh well.

I am sorry to hear about the flooding there, Scott.

My sister and brother-in-law are having flooding problems in the downstairs portion of their house in southeastern Massachusetts. The Taunton, Massachusetts National Weather Service office reported 4.26 inches of rain with the last rain event.

The Weather Channel had the 4.26 inches at the top of the precipitation totals, Friday afternoon.
