1.5 here today while I was at work. Estimated 1-2 inches tonight. Looked at the satellite before I left and what we got today was from Beryl

Looks like it whipped up some moisture from the gulf. The counterclockwise rotation was easier to see an hour ago when I looked at it. The 1-2 inches tonight, along with some wind will be more of Beryl.

If a hurricane hits the South coast, the people to the East of where it makes landfall get the most rain from the rotation/tail dragging it in from the ocean. The South coast of AL and GA and the panhandle of FL probably got a ton of rain. LA got both wind and rain since it shifted East right before it hit. I think it got downgraded to tropical storm by that time. I lived in Ctrl FL for 25 years so I've seen and been affected by a few.

Here's the 20 hour loop of the satellite which took close to a minute to load for me with good DSL - https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus_band.php?sat=G16&band=GEOCOLOR&length=240&dim=1 Kinda cool as you can see the ocean currents too. Didn't know they had this until just now. Can a satellite see daytime vs nightime or do they add that for effect?

Wow! Looks like we ALL have plenty to complain about this growing season. :(

On the Bright Side - the field to the West is planted in Wheat but there are also DOZENS of GIANT Sunflowers in that field that just started blooming, today! It actually caught my eye while I was mowing. Super-Duper LOVELY!

I need to ask Farmer Dan if he did that on purpose or if they’re all ‘escapees’ from my garden. ;)
