Not quite the bullseye this storm, we received an additional 1.5" mostly overnight last night. 

Total July to date : 3.6"

Not too shabby but Falls River (err, Falls Lake) has a long way to go.

 

Another 1.6" last night. 5 hour power outage thrown in for fun. 5.2" month to date  after an above average June.

The darn trees will start falling out of the ground due to saturated soils.

The  ephemeral  streams in our neighborhood have returned. They're running for a few hours after the precipitation stops. The watershed is back doing its thing.
