My area had still another ~2” of rain mainly early this morning per rain gauge and Cocorahs. This brings 48 hour totals up to ~5” and 96 hour totals up to 6”+! I even had some water in my garage though not too bad.

Pretty underwhelming here with zero heavy rain to speak of. Just 0.46” of steady light to occasionally moderate rain. Excellent all day soaking rain though

It has been a very wet day here as it has been raining since around 9am. Have picked up 1.68" so far today.

At KSAV (airport), rainfall is already up to a whopping 7.9” for May 1-12! That’s over 6 times the normal for that period and more than double the normal for the full month. It is already up to 9th wettest May on record back to the 1870s and 2nd wettest to 1915 for the wettest May 1-12 on record. There remains lots of standing water in low spots, including the back portion of MBY.

 Other than the flooding in some low areas, this has been quite beneficial since the area had just been in a moderate drought per the monitor.

Road closures throughout the Coastal Empire caused by flooding:

CANDLER COUNTY, Ga. (WSAV) – After weekend storms, many roads are still washed out or impassable in rural parts of the Coastal Empire, like Bulloch, Tattnall and Candler counties.

WSAV visited Candler County Monday and found several dirt roads flooded with ankle-deep water as well as significant infrastructure damage in some areas.

When asked about the flooding Candler County Sheriff John Miles said, “We’ve seen between five and ten inches of rain, and what that did was impact a lot of our county roads. We had some roads that were just muddy, and we had some roads that were almost completely washed out.”
