Rain in Galax yesterday
 

We got about 5" of rain yesterday afternoon. Area had some flooding. The outlet pipe on my pond couldn't handle the flow and the dam overtopped, luckily it didn't wash out or my driveway would probably be gone. I think a spillway is in the cards for this year.

We didn't get that much here in Ill..... but it rained all day yesterday here too. I was gonna mow my hay-field of a yard. :angry: Probably have to bale it after I finally get it cut for the first time. I feel your pain Sam.

I need to mow badly, but have standing water in places, we got another 2" or so last night but we missed the golf ball size hail.

Tell Gov Brown from California to come and get some....!

We got some heavy rain here starting yesterday at 6pm until about 6am, my yard was almost dry and now its back to being a swamp.

We got heavy rain over night and this morning. Really helped the boys with the forest fire about a mile from me. The fire destroyed about 500 acres of the mountain but didn't get any houses and (thank God) no one got hurt. This side of the mountain is really rough.

We have had 5" in the last week, 1 1/2 last night. No flooding since it's spread out enough to run off. Had 3" two weeks ago so just as it started to dry last week ended that. Been rained on off and on today so no drying going on. Chance of rain middle of the week on, I need to dry out. I haven't worked in over two weeks, this is getting old fast.

I didn't know there was a piece of land in Galax level enough to hold water :biggrin2:

Its currently 41° and snowing in Indiana, pa. :bash2:

Man made pond. :biggrin2:

Concrete spillway on the things to do list for this year. :beerchug:
