Did anyone get close to 3.7 inches? If so, where did you live?
Village of Tamarind Grove, about five minutes drive north-west of the intersection of Buena Vista and 466A. SEVEN INCHES, filled right to the top of my rain gauge. In the hurricane last summer, that gauge measured 9” in 24 hours (I emptied it during a break in the storm). The manmade lakes I drove by yesterday along 466A and south on Morse are all up around three feet, overnight, from accepting run-off. They are now full to where they should be. And the grass on the golf courses is so beautifully green.
