We've had a lot of rain for this area. Had 3 in. last Friday and another 3 in. on Saturday. We thought we'd wash away. I'd probably really panic if I lived someplace where it really rained.

the river is only 1ft above flood stage. floodgates in the seawall are closed. levees nice and high. no big deal. we get 10-12 inches+ rain in one day during a hurricane. it's just the day after day after day of rain. can't go anywhere, do anything.

Yes, tired of the soggy, gray weather. Supposedly, today is the last day of gray for us here in Houston for a week or more.
< edit > Yesterday it said that today was the last day, but now it says that we're going to get rain most of the week. < /edit > Wah, Wah, Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.

One more day, and then some relief.
The good news: The Drought is over in Texas!

Sounds like Illinois in October.
Here in Bloomington, we get an average of 2 inches of rain in October. This year, we got 14 inches. We had something like 12 consecutive days of rain that month and 20 consecutive days of cloud cover. The rain was so bad this year, that the farmers are STILL harvesting in December. They usually are done with harvest in October.

Jackson/Madison is a total quagmire...I have a number of huge oak trees in my yard. Ground is so water logged a stiff wind will uproot them in a heartbeat. My more immediate concern is all the drenched leaves I've been unable to rake. Had the yard completely cleaned up and then the rains came and now tons of wet leaves are every where.

Isn't this setting up to be an El Nino winter?

When you get 25" of rain in 12 hours, call.
We need the rain out here, and are thankfully getting it.

I was just in Ft. Walton Beach (Miramar beach) two weeks ago. Had some serious rain storms - enough to move everyone facing West to the other side of the hotel (Embassy Suites). Tornado warnings on the 98 as I was heading to the meeting
 The wind was driving the rain into the West side of the building and got all the rooms (mine included) full of water. We got something like 6" of rain in 12 hrs... crazy to a SoCal guy...
