I am not impressed with the new US Topo maps either, to put it nicely. But, according to the USGS, they stopped making legacy 24k maps in 1992 and stopped revising them in 2006. I can understand how that only seems like "several years" when you're driving a 25 year old truck though. :D (sorry...

Don't know how much rain we got overnight, but it appears to be a lot. Slept through it all, so guessing it was slow and steady? But all the puddles that have been bone dry for the past week or two are now re-filled. This is a big one in Peaslee that was dry yesterday. I think the middle is over...

This is probably it (evidently a common problem, found it with a Google search). If you have the "Transit" or "Biking" layer selected, route numbers don't show. I guess it was defaulting to that for some reason (screenshot looks more like the Biking layer). That's a new one for me. :clint:

OK, that's weird. Now it shows the names. :ninja: Wonder why they weren't showing before? That's why I posted, I thought it was something new because I'm sure I've seen names (like this) in the past.

I'm just looking at the link I posted above in Safari on my Mac. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3156125,-74.1204245,14z?entry=ttu Maybe it shows more names with other browsers or on Windows?

It's gotten so bad, they don't even show Lake Broyhill anymore! :D

Have you noticed a lack of road labels on Google maps recently? I don't use them all that often, but am working on my own streetmaps of the Northeast US right now and wanted to compare some things. Here's an example of the problem: there are some pretty major roads here.... what are they? No...

They changed their site and the old advanced precipitation analysis page is no longer there. Kinda sucks, since I developed my own procedure for extracting data from the old version, and now it's gone. :( I couldn't get the new site to work either yesterday, but found this rainfall monitor here...

Similar to the last storm, but less rain all around.

Judging from the very small amount of water in my wheelbarrow (usually a pretty accurate gauge) I had about 1/10 inch here. Couldn't have been much of a storm, I slept through it all and never heard a thing. Not enough to fill any puddles but it did wet the ground and bring down the dust for a...

Haha, no idea. Looks to be pounding Philadelphia now. The part that could hit me is still in Maryland.

Interesting change to the forecast, for Wharton they're estimating a 70% chance of between 3/4 to 1 inch of rain (only 1/2 to 3/4 inch farther South where I am). But forecast now only mentions 5 to 10 mph winds with no gusts and there's no severe thunderstorm warning (yet). Of course, that could...

The rain really cut off along a straight line just North of Mays Landing. The NWS has completely changed the website for hydrologic data, it's kind of confusing but I suppose the old one was nothing to write home about either. :D

Story on CNN this morning, makes him sound like a hero :D https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/23/us/missing-california-hiker-rescue-lukas-mcclish/index.html

Nothing here. My car was all dusty from drive through Peaslee yesterday, didn't bother to hose it down because I figured the storm would rinse it off. Stilll just as dusty this morning, literally not a drop of rain overnight. Was just in Mays Landing and they didn't have any rain there either...

I wonder if he will be receiving a bill for this? "His disappearance into California’s Big Basin Redwoods State Park would prompt a search that involved about 300 people, emergency personnel from several agencies..."
