Eeeeyowww!
Check out the rain recorded by radar in the pink swath (10-15”) per this cool interactive page / precip map from NOAA / NWS:
Ground truth (measured in a gauge) is almost 15” a bit north of Mayfield, KY. We’ve been “lucky” and by my “can gauge” estimate are at a bit over 9” here.
The good news is that the severe stuff finally underperformed around here, this afternoon and evening.
That NOAA page is very useful for checking the liquid precip. equivalent over most any recent time period you want to dial in.
We had 6.25” this week. Got to the point at times where the yard was more puddle than not. Might go down and check out the creeks later. I’m sure they’re not cross-able.
Have had a Pileated Woodpecker hanging around here for about a week. Those are the big ones with bright red head that Woody Woodpecker was based on. He bounces from tree to tree, lands on the window sills and looks in. Been landing on my truck and re-aiming my side view mirror. Spring Fever.
Was planning on pulling a 24’ travel trailer up from out back but that won’t be happening for a while on this jello-like clayey soil.
