8.58 INCHES OF RAIN IN AN HOUR AND A HALF

Sharing a few pictures (if blogger will allow it) of the 8 1/2 inches of rain we got on July 1st. Please note, these pictures were taken in the middle of the storm in the MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON!
The water on the carport is only a few inches deep but eventually went up over my ankles. Note the water on the wheels of the wagon. Also note the waves as the water rolls in from the street and UP the driveway, a distance of about 50 feet.
 
 
 Note the COCORAHS rain gauge in the background. The water has come up and onto the carport, about 3 inches deep. The garden ties in the back are under 6 inches of water at this point... and remember, this is around 3 in the afternoon. The Adirondacks on the patio sit on 4x4s to keep them dry. The 4x4s are underwater.
