2.75 in my tippy bucket. 2.07 came in the first hour. Torrential downpour. Now everyone knows why the seal of the city is a frog and this area was originally a swamp.

My backyard went from no flooding to a roaring stream in a matter of minutes..  Glad there is now a grade from my house down to the green space between the houses..
