trapperbless trapper Joined: Jan 2011 IN	Our county got hit good yesterday afternoon. We were just talking about setting up some irrigation systems. Don’t have to worry about that now. At work we had 3.5”. Few miles north had 7” and just northwest of us got 10”. Luckily the creeks are empty so any flooding wont last long. Smaller Creeks were running less than half full already this morning 10-15 years ago we had a 7” rain on thanksgiving. That’s the most I remember at one time before yesterday’s rain May be some discounted compact tractors for sale soon Last edited by trapperbless; 07/04/24 09:46 PM.

It didn't last long, just a line of T-storms that rolled through. We ended up with 2.7 inches in about thirty minutes. I'm sure the creeks are high though, hope my minnow traps didn't get washed away. Eh...wot?

I think the most we ever got in one day was seven or eight inches. Hurricane Lee was the year before Sandy and it was about that bad. Just tropical storm strength when it hit landfall, it was stopped and held in place buy a front from the NW and I think the folks around Hershey and Harrisburg told me they got 17 inches overnight. I had sump pump and flood claims from Philadelphia all the way to Pittsburgh. What"s good for me may not be good for the weak minded. Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers
