YEAHAWWWW!!At about 0530 the sky opened up and really started pouring. Looks like it's going to stay around for 3-4 days. We'll check the gauge when we get a little light outside. Hope everybody gets some of this today.

Yep, Charlie, tiny sprinkles started here about 1:00 p.m. yesterday and gradually built up until it was heavy rain at times and very light other times. So I went out about 15 minutes ago and poured about 3.35" out of my gauge. We're back to very light sprinkles right now, but as you said, NWS says it'll stay around right on through the weekend. Unfortunately, the NWS radar is out of commission right now with an antenna problem, their website says.

We have had only an inch of slow soaking rain in the past 24 hours. I suspect we will get a lot more in the next few days.

Looks like am far enough east to miss most of it.. which is fine by me.. I have had my share of rain this summer and fall.. just now drying out.. Good luck to everyone else,, cause it looks like it going to be a stormy week end for west and north Texas..

Well it has been about 12 hrs. since the rain started and I've got 4 inches in the rain gauge. Still raining and some thunder. Looks like this is going to be here till the remnants of the Hurricane get to us. I hope that dies down a lot.

We went down FM 2449 to the Grapevine Mills Outlet Mall this morning about 9:30 a.m. in a pretty good shower. Then while we were in the mall, it became a heavy rain, but quit about noon. So when we started home, a pretty good section of FM 2449 was under water and police cars were re-routing traffic. We got home about 12:30 p.m., I was up to 4.2" but it hasn't rained since noon. HOWEVER, the NWS radar makes it appear that we'll be getting more rain very shortly.

Somewhere north of 5 inches here, rain gauge overflowed.

We only had 1" as of 12:30am when left house been on call outs all night. Have had a lot of heavy rain since. My buddies little further north had 14" and that was late yesterday. Lots of vehicles in fairfield since they shut I-45 down...
