I've had 1" today since I posted earlier. I hear thunder again and it's starting to rain again. Better check the radar and shut down for a while.

We're above too. I'll check on how far... 3" over normal for may so far with rain expected this afternoon... *sigh* guess we'll not get out of this for a while. Unless the pattern changes...
