Subdeacon Joe Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Yesterday, between 1600 and midnight, we got about 5/8" of rain. So far today - almost 7/8 of an inch since midnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 We did also. My wife dashed out to set her rain gauge before it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Congrats on the rain, wish we would get some substantial rain. Hard to believe but the Tampa Bay area is in a severe drought. I've been keeping track of the rainfall for many years, we're down 30"+ for the year as compared to previous years and the dry season is here. The last time it was like this there were large forest fires (not as destructive as California's fires) in June/July of the next year. I hope that the rain that ya'll receive doesn't just run off into the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's a "Thank God we're finally getting some rain." When I was new a truck driving, (1990), I had to make a couple deliveries in Kalifornia. It rained the entire three days in was in the state. And all I heard on the radio was complaining about the drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 ON the other side of the state from St. Pete, we got 13 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. You read that correctly. We're glad it finally stopped raining. Several streets nearby had flooded. The nearby town told everyone to stay off the roads unless it was an emergency because they were tired of getting rescue driver calls. We needed rain too but not all at once.

Trailrider #896 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Rain? What's that? Haven't seen any precipitation since 4-inches of snow several weeks ago. Could use some as I had my sprinklers shut off the end of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both. We got a little rain, but can use a lot more.......BUT I dread the Arizona monsoons season which is right around the corner. Thanks to AAA and my new roofs on both buildings I'll at least be dry indoors. Remember that Noah was called a conspiracy theorist....until the rain started.

Was supposed to be wiped out in the 70’s as pastors prophesied Gods wrath and punishment on the sun state. Boy, to rewind wind the clock to those milder to es…..It’s what brought my Pentecostal in-laws here to Georgia. They were convinced California was gonna be wiped off the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
