rain
 

well so far , in the passed 14 hrs. we got 4 1/2 inches of water. i may have to buy a canoe.

Welcome to Florida

Hopefully somebody near Bonita has a rain gauge. Think it is time for us to get one

Lot of rain might take two days

Giant rain gage in our birdcage. Pool at 11:45, up 6”

Our overflow is a 3/4" pipe and it's been running full stream for hours, another 4 inches of rain and we won't need the pipe.

Just under 8 inches in Richmond between yesterday and today.

Only 4 1/2 inches :D

in Springdale we got 8".. so far

Location: South of 466a, if you don't like me.......I live in Orlando.

5.10 inches

Impressive

as of 8pm ,total of 6 inches

My six inch rain gauge overflowed between 2pm Sunday and 2pm Monday. Quarter inch since then. Village of Tamarind Grove.

And watch how many people still let their sprinklers water their lawns!!!!

All Villages homes should have automatic rain sensors built into every home to stop watering grass when it rains. But as for The Villages streets and golf courses … they’ll water before and after the rain as they attempt to redistribute water around into non flood zones. Very Smart 🤙

4 1/2 we got 9 1/2 in pine hills

rain
 

Neighbor on Eureka's rain garage spilled over at 7 inches. My gauge only goes to 5.

I’m in the northern end of TV and have emptied my rain gauge 3 times for a total of 13 inches!

My sprinklers have been off for about 2 months.

According to my PWS, we got over 6” over the 2 days

4.4 over two days @ Citrus Grove

What's with this obsession about rainfall? Been here for over 20 years (Village of Bonnybrook) and never had any flooding problem.

Decided to buy one, guess minimum 7 inches perhaps a bit more

No obsession here . We’re on our third home since 2005 and no flooding issues at any.

I just think folks like to compare the amount and then jibber jabber over the results ! :):):)

:BigApplause:

Ditto, pools gonna need a 40 lb bag of salt.

Just short of 8 inches in Amelia

The ponds are so full or just over their banks and it looks really pretty!

Irrigation
 

A number of residents are on vacation (some for a couple months) and their rain sensors probably no longer work. Those darn rain sensors are rather “finicky”.

We had 5' -1/4" in Buttonwood

We seem to be a bunch of jibber jabbers

ours went from 3200 last monday to 2600 this morning, I added a bag but its probably not going to be quite enough

Guilty as charged ! ;)

We got almost 6” in DeLuna. We had several ponds that were very low for a long time, and a couple that were totally empty and dry, and now they’re all full. Even our large preserve by the postal station/pool looks more like a pond now than a preserve.

Times are changing. The whole Earth keeps getting warmer starting about 10 years ago. So the air is warmer which allows it to hold more moisture. More moisture, more rain.

The ponds may look pretty today, but as the summer continues, people may find catfish swimming in their living rooms.

Guess you have not stopped

Snowbirds living in another state, LOL

just helping the golf courses do their post monsoon job, community service effort . . .

so you don't believe in community service?

chilout

I'm going to start shopping for a helmet, for when the sky falls. I wonder if tinfoil would be the best material for a good one?
