This last tropical storm (Barry) brought soem badly needed rain to northern Florida and southeastern Georgia.. We has a nice, steady all day rain yesterday. Received 3.5" yesterday... Perfect! Then, in the wee hours this morning the weather alert radio went off and scared the pee out of us all. Turned out it was a good thing, as there was a supercell on the backside of this storm and it was wrapping around and backsided us pretty good. Only lost a couple small branches, but we got
3.5" of rain in an hour. Being a sandy area, it all disappears pretty quickly, but it got real wet real fast .. I know the rainfall defecit is still there, but it feels so good to get a good soaking after the long dry spell we've had... Hopefully this was enough to snuff the SE Ga/ Florida wildfires..
