Rain

Looks like day one was pretty mild, between 6-8" of rain depending on exact location and which bands everyone got. Might get another 1 or 2" between tonight and noon tomorrow; but nothing bad. Frankly we needed it. I do know the Big Bend area got some flooding though.

1 old man,

with all that rain, it will be a great crawfish season next year. It was dry last year and crawfish were expensive and hard to find.

RAIN. A forgotten word around these parts.

Man, we have had Heavy rain every day since last Sunday, although it we might miss it this afternoon. I'm talking 1" per afternoon, and something in the neighborhood of 10" in 7 days.

We have had no measurable rain (in my plastic tube sitting in the yard) for the past 4-5 weeks. I have drug a soaker hose and 150' of very light duty hose around the yard side to side front to back for a month now. Got all this landscaping I'm afraid we are going to loose.

That is supposed to change starting Thursday when the hurricane remnants hit here.

Dreading my next water bill.

Looks like my county got just over 8" in August (were ever they take that measurement), but they aren't showing Sept data yet.

Looking to see if anyone had Sept 2024 totals today; and ran across this news clip, in Jax. Record foe Spet 4th is 4.08"; but many areas got 4+", not offical; the official number was "SLIGHTLY LOWer" AT 0.67". that's more than Slightly lower...

Over the last four days - 0.08 inches. Not a lot but, at least, everything got wet.

The morning misty rain added another 1/8" to our total, so we're right at 1 1/2 inches. A friend who lives less then half an hour North of use got 2 1/2 inches!!!!

We are close to two months with no rain. Haven't seen this since I've lived here... The 100% chance for today, just dropped to 9%.

I won't touch either of my fields. Wanted to get some early fall clover and oats planted, but what a waste without water to grow it. Looks like spring tillage and planting instead.

It's been so wet that when I went to top off the corn piles, the old corn was sprouting, even the corn on top of other corn, with no ground contact.

We got 3.25 inches last night. The ground was powder dry. Even with that amount there is no mud.

We are on week 7 with no rain and temps around 90F. This follows another stint of 4 weeks in June with no rain. Somehow we grew 100 pumpkins
