It’s just after noon, and it’s raining again. I suppose this rainfall graph probably tells the story as well as I can; I just grabbed it from NCAR’s site:
Yes, nearly 1.3 inches of rain this morning. That would be a lot of rain for around here even if the ground wasn’t already saturated. However, that reminds me that I haven’t yet posted this graph, which I grabbed at 10:22PM on 9/12/2013:
So, about 10 inches of rain accumulated in a 24-hour window at the beginning of the storm. That’s at a station near here and hence several miles out from the mountains. I’ve read that some areas received 15 inches of rain.
We’re still okay. The sump pump is working fine, although I discovered a leak in the exhaust hose. Duct tape to the rescue!
