It has been raining in these parts for 5 days now and it could continue for three or four more. We've gotten over 10 inches of rain in that time frame and the pumps in the basement are working overtime tonight. Everything is dry down there but any prolonged power outage and another 3 inch downpour and I'm going to have some problems. I bought a generator a few months ago but it's still in the box and I don't have any gasoline so that won't do a lot of good.
On Wednesday, I measured 4 inches of rain in 45 minutes. It came down in sheets. Really quite amazing. We were in a the beginnings of a drought a week ago. I think we've made up the yearly deficit.
