^^^ Same here... Rained "hard" for about 30 minutes and then a good steady rain for another two hours... We really needed it... I don't know how much it rain since when I checked the rain gauge it had a big crack in it (I guess from all the summer heat)
I gave up on rain gauges as none of them seem to last for long. I now check rainfall amounts using this website:

You can literally zoom in to your back yard. I've compared what it reports to my neighbor's rain gauge and found it to be very accurate.

Looks like the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season is getting started soon.. And yeah, I don't like the way this one is headed, but it's a very long ways off still.

I don't know how well that would work in the Panhandle of Florida, to much spotty rain coming in from the Gulf. Often we can have a pouring rain storm a mile away and nothing at home, or vise versa. If the weatherman says it will rain, he is right, it does rain somewhere in the area, just not where you are.

+1Heh, heh, just what I need. ANOTHER time waster! Seriously, this is so cool. Thanks for posting. Just book marked it.
Looks like our friends in south Texas may get some rain over the next couple of days.
That would be welcome.
Let us hope that it's not another Houston flooding situation. We have friends who lost two houses there during the recent couple of floods. It's either feast or famine sometimes.
Nah, we will never get another 53" rainstorm.....
Actually, 30" causes flooding....
Yeah, after losing their house the first time, our friends asked themselves "What's the chance we'd get another XX inches of rain ever again" - and rebuilt in the same spot. Big mistake.
I've owned three houses on the southeast side of Houston over a period of 30+ years and never had any of them flood...The streets have flooded bad enough that we couldn't get home several times and even had water half way up the front yard a few times but never had any water come in the house. In all three cases, other homes did flood within ~1/2 mile of us from time to time, so I was just lucky I guess.We are proud of our BIG rainstorms here.....remember, everything is BIG here. Ya just gotta know where to build your house!
No flooding where we are!

Candidly, I always thought it was kinda foolish to rebuild in the same place, but it's not my house (or money.) YMMV
