Had several rounds of heavy rain yesterday, including one downpour overnight that the hi-res models kept trying to kill before it got here. It made it just about 20 miles east of here before it finally died out. It's raining now as well. After 1.28 since midnight, gonna finish up July with over 15 inches of rain easily, combined with the 4 inches from June 26th through the 30th, will probably cross 20 inches in the 35 day time frame. Looked like the exceptional rains were gonna be over this year, but there's basically no way we don't finish way above normal again. I'm already at nearly 50 inches for the year on an average in the mid to upper 50s. On average I'd get about 18-20 inches from August- December. So another 70+ inch year looks very possible.

Looks like SW VA is taking it pretty hard from flooding. That fire hose across SE Ky into there was persistent.

Had another thunder laden soaker around 3:30-4pm today. Not sure if things are over for tonight or not.

Getting rocked again by heavy rain and a lot of thunder. This July has been one of the most thundering months I can recall.

Picked up .88 so far today. Looks like something cooking out West that moves this way towards 11ish. 7 day forecasts from WPC/MRX say we could get 6-8 inches in spots with widespread 4+ amounts.

The big rainer yesterday put down 1-2 inches across the area here. Closing in on 15 inches for the last 30 days here with an area of 15-20 just west of me in Scott County. More big storms tomorrow would easily trigger flooding I'd think.

Extremely heavy rain and dime/nickel hail.

Corn will usually stand back up on it's own, or in extreme cases you can stand it back up and it will usually be fine and keep growing/stay alive.

Between yesterday morning through current I've now gotten over 4 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. Looks like parts of Anderson and Knox that got the 2-3 hour drencher are well over 7 inches in the last 24 hours. Heavy rain still rolling here and even heavier for those areas. It's hard to imagine louder thunder. It's rattling windows and shaking my insides.

Many reports of rock slides, mud slides and roads washed away this morning. Currently on hour 4 of heavy rain/storms. House shaking thunder.

Another wave hitting, wind currently stronger than when we lost trees and limbs with the storm Monday. Rain is probably 3in per hour right now.

This line means business. Super heavy rain, big time wind. Most of Campbell County is without power now and is flooding. If this hits the areas already flooded from earlier, it will be catastrophic.

Rain has started here from another development in advance of the line, but I think you guys will really get even worse tonight as this line in Kentucky drifts down. Looks like it's going to really gel over your area and you may get another couple inches. The storm you've been under was a bonus storm basically. These storms are a result of a front and upper low well to our north. They are moving really slow and with these dew points and precipatable water values around 2 inches, you are seeing the result. I won't be shocked if you end up with 4-6 inches of rain by morning.

The lightning is crazy looking south and north from here. That cell appears to have 2-3 strikes per second.

Rainy streak continues. Absolute drencher rolling through right now.

Had another shower this afternoon. Mowing is becoming impossible. It's constantly wet and growing 3x normal speed.

Ended up losing some big limbs and one large tree with that one. I'd say we probably touched severe levels with the wind but it was brief.

Second round of rain today, this one is extremely heavy with some strong winds. Nothing severe at all, barely any thunder.

Real heavy soaker moved over with some pretty good lightning and wind. Looks like some more upstream if it holds together.

The QBR at 30mb continued it's rapid rise, moving from -26 to +0.39. So we will probably see a rising QBO throughout winter. Not ideal but not a death sentence either. It may stay positive but should be falling again by winter 2023-24.

More epic rain fall this evening. Quite a light show as well. No hail but some strong winds here.

Flood advisory upgraded to a Flash Flood Warning. Seeing pictures of huge rocks in roads, washed away roads, a large boat in the road etc etc,

No sooner do I post that than a flood advisory was issued. Raining moderately still but backed off from the deluge earlier.

That was a very heavy rain storm. Some 3+ inch totals in the last three hours. Big time flash flooding underway here with several impassable roads. No flood advisory or warning issued but very much need one. 5.86 inches of rain in the last 3 days here.

Back in rain forest mode with rain 8 of the last 9 days. Another storm with lots of lightning and heavy rain underway right now. That's the third round today of heavy rain.
