Not kidding. For some reason, we always have a lot of rain. Just drained the gauge again. Five inches! That makes for 15 inches! Don't ask me why-I dunno. But that's what the gauge says. Riht now, 7:26 p.m. coming down in sheets!

Interesting to see how many Weather Underground stations are in The Villages. Weather Forecast & Reports - Long Range & Local | Wunderground | Weather Underground. I have not looked at this web site in several years.

Wormhole ?

4.36 inches as of now. Storm starting to blow a bit... hoping we will not see tornadoes and we will be fine...

Praying for folks that have much bigger issues than us that they are safe...

Funny. But no sprinklers. Like I said, I don't know why but we always have a lot more rain here than other places in TV.

I would buy a new rain gauge, there is a weather station in Hadley showing an accumulation of 4.2 inches for the entire day.

There is another one on Gatsby Lane in Hadley showing 4.06 inches all day.

Thanks, but the gauge is pretty basic--plastic from Home Depot. While it was raining too hard to go and empty it, it overflowed, which added another six inches, so 21 inches at least.

It always seems to be pouring at my house when even down the block isn't. Go figure.

In Dunedin, we dumped our rain gauge about 5 PM yesterday and it had 4.5 inches in it. This morning, it had more than 5 inches. How much more? I don't know exactly as it's capacity is only 5 inches. The collector cap was completely full so at leas another half inch. That's 10 full inches plus who knows how much more. That's about in line with the forecast. Still, no flooding in the yards around us and the streets are dry.

I used to have a rain gauge, but now neighbor's have weather stations. Likely there is one near you... Cool stuff
