Caught under a high pressure system she dumped 40 inches of rain on the city. The 610 loop around the city acted as a giant bowl. When the water finally drained on the interstate, they found 18 wheelers two deep that had been totally buried under water. Called the 100 year flood. Didn’t think it would ever quit raining. Some memories just never go away.

Sure could use some of that water now....talk about "feast or famine."

You betcha. It did rain for about 20 minutes near our home earlier this week though. Heard a lawn and garden guy last weekend say that because of the kind of soil we have, it would take two to three years of normal rainfall for complete restoration.
