Hurrricane / Tropical storm Fay?

[RN]

It's been raining steady in the Marianna area all night and all morning long. Enough wind in the area that I'll be gathering small to medium size branches on my property for a couple of hours...once it stops. The Chipola River level is only about 6.25' right now, about a foot higher than earlier in the week. I haven't heard any thunder. Looks like I'll be diving.

I'm surprised. For all the rain over the last few days we only have about 3" added to the pool.

Been raining steady hear all night and continues to, but not very hard at all. This is exactly what we needed. Although it will not end the drought. Over the last couple years ('05 thru '07 added up) we are something like 26-30" below average annual rainfall.

It will be interesting to get the rain gage report from Cathy later today.

Mike:

Jeff and I are scheduled to be there on the 4th. We've been watching the national radar and Fay sure looks like she dumped a lot of water. Were going to focus on Madison, so...

Please keep the posts coming in.

BTW, that MEG sure looks good on your back!

Regards,

Bill
