I just saw a video of rain at the Ft Lauderdale airport. If your rain was anything like that your sprinkler well should be good as gold for quite a while.

That's about 60 miles south. We did get enough to flood my street for a while. It was close to 4" in 10 hours here. Spots in Ft Lauderdale got over 20" in the same time frame. Ha, haven't tried my sprinklers!  In the 21 years here, it was the first time the well went dry. BTW. I bug sprayed today. I'll hold off on the sprinklers. The wind was flat, so I sprayed.   30% chance today!

High of 55 with 18-44 mph winds, snow showers today. Low of 28. Got caught in a wind/dust storm yesterday on the way back from Raton NM. That was fun

Sounds like fun! My sprinklers ran today like normal.  More rain may be on the way.  The flooding has stopped gas deliveries. None here to be had!   :)

Close to 5" of rain in the last 12 hours with thunder and lightning all night!  3" in the last 30 minutes, hail mixed in and a tornado warning!  I think we are caught up on rain.  Be caredul what you ask for!   ;D

"Flood alert" is the latest thing. Like it can't be seen!

We are to get ran and snow for three days. Don't know how rain but they are expecting 6 to 8 inches of snow.

And wind.
