Floods

In the 25 years that I've lived on this farm, I've never seen it flood this bad. The pond had a foot of water washing over the dam. The muddy drain at the edge of the woods was a creek 8 feet wide. Meadowbrook Road was impassable even at 10:30 last night.

At my house we had 6.99 inches in less than 24 hours. If you want to see inches across the state check out the CoCoRahs web site. Volunteers across the country record precipitation daily. Since it is volunteer not every county is represented, but there are still a lot of dots on the map.
