here in Gainesville, we have gotten over 8 inches of rain since Wednesday. More on the way today. First time I have seen such flooding in my neighborhood, and even 43rd Street was blocked off.
Any other folks getting this heavy rainfall? |
When water is covering one lane of 441 across Paynes Prairie, I'll know we've had enough  I've got standing water and I live on a hill/ridge. 95 feet of elevation change from the front property line to the back property line, a little over 1000' distance. I've got a clay & white sand vein that is around 60" below the surface on the peak. I can dig a post hole and it will fill with water so fast that I can't dig it any deeper. Gave up years ago and went with steel posts, except for the brace posts. Then again, I've had it so dry that I've had to put water in the post holes to get the dirt out because the chopsticks couldn't hold the dry sand. Still rather be sloshing than burning.

Pinellas county here. Seems like it's been raining all summer non-stop. I got so tired of not going out on the boat fishing or anything that we just go out and know we're getting wet now. Hey, it's a warm rain  When it's your day to go you take what you get. |

Yep! The lake at our fishcamp in Salt Sp. was at the highest level we have seen in 3.5 years when we were up there last weekend.
A new rainfall record for our place in S Tampa too. Over 50" in June, July and August combined, we had over 7" in one 5 hour period. It was a lake down here. Lots of dumbasses lost their minds and thought their cars were boats. Idiots. No wonder our premiums are so high. |

Looks like rotation to me. Depression forming? |
