I can relate to rain :
Florida possesses 4 of the Top 10 wettest cities in the United States, ranked by average annual precipitation:
Pensacola, Tallahassee, West Palm Beach and Miami.

And I live in WPB We average over 65 inches a year
We have gotten almost 12 inches of rain in the last week .
I got to ride today for all of 11 miles before I had to turn around and outrun a big one home .

 

[captain]

We checked it was 3.5 inches in 40 minutes...

 

[Dan]

[captain]

[MrsGrumpy]

[Takeuon]

That's some serious high quality H20

 

[mr8ball]

Thats a lot of rain. We sure could use some of it here but not all at one time. I hope all is well

 

[Bosshound]

You going to be Ok Doug ? That is alot of water. I personally would be Freakin Out right about now

 

[captain]

It hasn't stopped, it slowed way down but they are saying it gonna rain more for hours...

Steve are you getting anything, Rick, hows the creek?

 

[twotonevert]

Wow, how are you keeping that out of the garage?

 

[omslaw]

Wow!

You know - you should give the boys some soap and have 'em wash the cars... LOL Washed and rinsed

 

[Mr. Anderson]

once again, I was lucky, just some rainfall on the east side of Moore.

 

[captain]

Wow, how are you keeping that out of the garage?

Gravity is pulling it down the front yard before it has time to pool up and get into the garage....

It started like that for us here in Cedar Rapids a couple years ago...

Good luck! When they tell you to get out, listen and take the things you wanna keep.

At least you have a neighbor with a Bobcat you can borrow to rebuild the driveway! We've been getting freak storms like that in the late afternoon - sunny one minute then clouds book in and the sky opens up, but not 3.5" in less than an hour - WHOA!!!
