Looks like we need to be on the lookout for possible funnel clouds. And by the way, I've recorded around 9.25" of rain so far this month. With good chances for the next several days. It feels like its turning into a rainforest down here!

Take pics if you see one!

Well I didn't see any funnel clouds but we had some pretty strong thunderstorms earlier that dropped about 1.25" of rain. I've lost track with all the rain but we're probably over 10 inches at my house for June. Now thats what I call mother nature making up for lost time!

Add that total to the total you said in your other post. It's impossible to lose track when you already said it! Looks like 10.30"
