I didn't really pay attention to what we got at my house, but I doubt I got the most. Just wondering what everyone else got.

I emptied the rain gauge Sunday afternoon and there were 2.5 inches. Today's rain was good for 2 inches.

2" Saturday night and 1.25" Sunday

2 trees on the creek bank came down (bank eroded).
They are wedged in the creek causing trouble for our bank. City won't help remove them because "on private property"

The creek was out of its banks in a broader scope than we have seen in several years.

It was a ninth of an inch of badly needed rain for us in Burleson. We've been locked in a terrible drought. While other areas were getting good showers, we were getting dust balls.

6+ inches was reported for our area Saturday night. We had some roads closed for being under water.

I think all that rain started right here in Rocky Mt. National Park. We had heavy rain almost every day last week. Finally cleared up and we only had the normal afternoon shower every afternoon since Sat.

We got a nice amount of rain. I put out some peat moss in my front yard, and it watered in nicely.
