calculus1 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Me too, now. But, without the rains. I have been privy to one of the most awesome displays of lightning that I have ever seen for the past 20 minutes. There has been lightning on all sides. I believe a bolt actually struck in the woods a street or two over. That created the most incredibly loud boom. Somehow, I still have power, and I'm just hearing the first drops of rain. This is amazing!! Well, scratch that. I got more than an inch of rain, and it's still falling. But, what an impressive showing that electric storm was!

Met1985 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 We are getting pounded by a pop up tstorm right now. Torrential rain, really bad lightning,& gusty winds. Just what we don't need right now....esp with what some of the computer models are showing for Chantal. Was in Asheville when that hit Don. Wow at the lightning that thing had. Was an impressive storm. Thought we had missed it over here but back home we got pounded to. 9th straight day of seeing rainfall. Two day total of rain is at 2.47 inches. This is shaping up to be an amazing month again for rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshM Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm close to 13 inches for the month after the nice little rain and light show last night. At this rate we're on par for around 40 inches for July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Still raining hard. We have picked up a quick .62 inches and looks like more coming from TN. This month is crazy. Have seen rain everyday this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 We've had storms at the house for the last 4 days in a row, and that doesn't even count the weather outside. JK! We've picked up at least a half inch of rain each of the last 3 days...and that's probably a conservative estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've now gathered more than 7 inches for July alone. With that thunderstorm last night, I have also passed my yearly total rainfall from 2012 with 45 total inches, and we're just over halfway through 2013! Wow! Record year here IMBY. Of course, I only have 2 years worth of data so far at this new house; so, maybe this is normal and I'm supposed to get 60+ inches by the end of the calendar year and last year was an anomaly... Or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 We are on our second heavy thunderstorm of the day. By the time it's done we will be around 9 inches for the month & 34 for the year (again our average is 3 & 36). I love weather and enjoy the storms but it is becoming to much! The terrain is not made for the rainfall totals we are experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
