2-1/2" here so far. It's nice and slow, so it goes down. No chance of flash flooding here unless you're an ant.

Thanks Lou,
I'll try again tonight, the crater should not have shifted that much in one day; but they are predicting nasty storms?
It was darker than the inside of a can of un-opended tomato soup here last night.
Usually a full moon at least lights the back of the clouds, but not so here the past 2 nights.

Do you get much woodsheddin time on your guitars?

I got sleepy and went to bed last night before 9 o'clock, but my wife tells me we had a power outage, so she missed the last of the Rangers game.:laughing: Apparently it didn't last long. And my rain gauge has now gone over 2" and still raining. It's wonderful.

Bird,
Have you kept a record of how much total rainfall you've had this year so far?
It sure seems like a lot more than last year.

A 5 minute window isn't much time to drink a "couple of shots"!!:confused3:

Thank you for the rain Lord! Five and one half inches so far here in Bowie County!

Ron, it's quit raining here, may start again, but anyway, I just went out and dumped about 2.62" of rain out of my gauge, and that brings my annual total thus far to 23.29" The 2.62" is the biggest rain we've had in 24 hours since March of last year. But for a whole year's total, I've had:
2008 - 35.59
2009 - 52.34
2010 - 41.27
2011 - 29.21
2012 - 28.33

Hobby Airport was in and out of rain and clouds last night. All I got was a fuzzy shot of the moon around 2am. My camera's battery is charing right now, so I have to wait to see how it came out.

On a happier note...........................it's raining here. I'm fixin' to go out and dance a continuance dance. No knee high mocassins now, just rubber boots!
hugs, Brandi

Jinman,

It's still raining and it rained all night. Just checked the guage and we have 3 1/4".

Last night about 1700 we headed south to Mineola and it looked like the bottom was falling out down there and nothing happening to the north. When we got to the new Mexican restaurant in town it was still pouring and we got a little wet getting in the door, but I enjoyed my dash thru the drops.
When we left it rained on us all the way home, then rained fairly slow an steady all night then about 0600 the sky really opened up.

FG,

We should have thought about teaming up earlier in the summer! I haven't had as much as some of you. I am at 1.4", but if you think I am sending it back, you're crazy! Light rain is still falling, and predicted to fall until midnight. This weather sure made a nice day in the barns! Some folks kept asking why I kept going out in the rain, and I just said, I had forgotten what it felt like!
