Well there was 18 inches or so of rain. :D
That said, there is a huge ocean out there, and the state tips that direction.
So it’s draining. It has been draining. And today the weather is fabulous, and all of the flooding is receding now already.
It IS a fabulous day, isn’t it? $; ). It is so green and lush here it almost hurts your eyes!
That’s very unfortunate. I mistakenly thought rain water supply’s wells, springs, soaks into the soil for vegetation etc.
