We could sure use some of that.
 
We've got a TON of that over here too @Wayloncle . It's unbelievable how much rain, lightning, and wind we've gotten over the last 24 hours. Substantial flooding too, which means murky water for quite a while before it clears up.
 
First it was snow and now non-stop rain. I hope things turn around quick.
 
@ToddW850 you guys got it worse than we did I think. I heard some ridiculous number like 22" in a day over there?
 
I'm tradin in the Yammie for an ark.
 
Poured here today! Flood warnings all over the TV

I dunno, Lotsa rain has gotta be better than no rain :rolleyes:
 
Been pouring here since yesterday. . . . . . I just hope it stops in time for me to take delivery of my boat tomorrow!
 
We've been under flood watch for two days. It came across the mountains and broke up and went round us. Had lots rain last summer.
 
Yeah @Wayloncle I saw just to the west of me was 26" in Pensacola. We've had anywhere from 19" to 12" here over night. I took some pics, but most were after the water was receding. I was too busy working at the beginning of my shift to get the good pics or pics of the abandoned cars in the water. Wish I'd of taken more though.

Here's where I launch my boat at Joe's Bayou. Normally, when I nose up to the end of this dock to pick up my wife, she has to step down into the boat.

This is Highway 98 crossing Okaloosa Island after the water receded enough to open the road.
