    It has rained here at least some every day in July except one, including 2.4 inches today. Already at 4.56 inches for the month. It's like living in Central Florida.

    It's stormed 3 of the first 4 days of July so far, so the wet pattern seems to be holding tight. The cloud to ground lighting has been intense the last few days, started multiple fires.

    Well no sooner do I post that total and think that's it for June, a storm drops out of Kentucky and it's coming a downpour here.

    Well, going to finish the month at 16.84 inches of rain. Looking typically hot and humid for the next week, but at least days are getting shorter. Seems like after 4th of July week summer fades fast these days, maybe not weather wise, but football related things kick into high gear and I can take the heat better with football going.

    Almost non moving thunderstorm over Campbell County for the last 3 hours. Wide spread power outages again and more flooding. 3-4 inches of rain in the last few hours over parts of the area. Been raining heavily here for over 2 hours as well. Right at 2 inches of rain, closing in on 17 inches for June.

    Definitely juice for the storms that are starting to pop out there. Currently 80 degrees with a DP of 73. Tornado warning popped in Eastern Ky.

    Really hope we can catch a break with the storms tomorrow. This has been the year of downed trees. Ground is extra saturated from non-stop rain and tree loss is increased significantly in these severe thunderstorms.

    About 57 inches a year. Last year we had 76.45 inches which is the most I've seen here. My grandfather recorded 75.5 in 1954. Currently on pace for around 90-95 this year unless things slow down. Already closing in on 50 inches for 2019.

    Another inch in the rain gauge from the storm last night and the storms today. 14.30 inches so far in June.

    Powerful storms here and I imagine across the area. Virtually all of Campbell Co is without power right now. Trees are down everywhere. One fell on a car as it was driving. Just a fast moving bull dozer. It made it across the county in 10 minutes.

    Saw a video of the Rutledge Pike area, looked like a rain wrapped tornado there. Extremely strong rotation for sure.

    Crazy how rainy this year is so far. I'm sitting here at 13+ inches for June as the rain pounds down outside right now. It was already the wettest winter into spring on record for most of us. I am approaching 45 inches for the year already. We are either going to break a record or have a drought at this rate, not much middle ground.

    Managed to bottom out at 44 degrees this morning. Must have gotten a chill in my sleep because I dreamed it was snowing. Had several people say they turned their heat on and many were wearing jackets.
  14. John1122
    Really can't beat this on a bright sunny day at 5:00 pm in Mid June.

    More training extremely heavy rains going right now over the area. Around 1 inch of rain in the last hour with some heavy echos still to come. First was was just very heavy rain about 45 minutes ago, current wave is heavy rain with thunder.
  16. John1122
    It has went from early mid 90s a few weeks ago to being 59 with rain today at 1 in the afternoon the week before solar summer begins.

    Another 1.5 inches here tonight. Over 10 for the last 5 days in the area. The sheer volume of flood damage is unbelievable. Homes underwater, buildings swept away, roads shredded, giant ditches opened up in yards. Water has been off for days in areas, as has power. Large trees both blown down and washed down. Thousands of tons of mud and debris are every where. Guardrails 15-20 feet above the level of creeks along sides of roads are clogged with logs. There are some large steep ridges that run parallel to the Cumberland Mountains in Campbell County. The bottoms of those ridges were destroyed by the runoff. I drove past a few front yards today that had ditches 4-5 feet wide and 8-10 feet deep in them. It looked like someone came in with a track hoe and just ripped it up. I saw one estimate that 7.4 inches of rain fell in 2 hours over those ridge tops.

    This is crazy. It's rained 6-8 inches over the last 6 hours or so.
  19. John1122
    MRX issued a flood advisory, needed a flash flood warning. The worst flash flooding I've seen in 20 years is ongoing here. It rained 3 inches in an hour. Most of Campbell County is having major issues right now. It slacked off a bit but heavy rain has returned.
  20. John1122
    Earth shaking thunderstorm has been parked over my area just dumping down rain. Approaching 4.5 inches of rain for the event so far with possibly 2-4+ more to go by Monday.
  21. John1122
    Picked up 1.4 inches of rain on day one of the rainy pattern. Will see what we can add today and through the weekend.
  22. John1122
    Had a brief snow shower around 6 this morning. Chilly but beautiful afternoon.
  23. John1122
    Same thing happened here around 6:30 this evening. Just rained ice for a bit.
  24. John1122
    Blindingly heavy rain and frequent lightning earlier as I drove home from Oak Ridge. Lots of urban flooding around Clinton.
  25. John1122
    Right at an inch of rain so far today. Probably another inch to 1.5 over the next day or so.
