Quite a busy looking map. They have been close, but none of these storms have hit me yet. I suspect that could change pretty soon...

I got a surprising amount of rain last night, about 3 inches. The forecast was wavering all over the place during the day, as high as 2" but then was reduced to only 3/4 inch.

The rain started here about 11:10PM and was spitting, and by 11:15 it was fully raining. Not sure how much we got in the next 45 minutes; however, from midnight until 5:30 this morning when it stopped, we received .96 inches.

I dont have sprinklers and usually after the first 90 degree day in June my lawn is a nice light brown. This year even in August it is still a nice dark green because of all the rain. Unfortunately because of the rain my pool keeps turning the same color as the lawn.
