It's been raining off and on for the last 36 hours or so. It started at our house at about 530 in the morning on Wednesday with some big gusts of wind and rain blowing in the windows of the house. I had thought the rain wasn't supposed to come until later in the day on Wed, so we stupidly slept with the windows open.
And then, because it was so windy, I started freaking out about all my recently bought seedlings outside so I got up and ran outside to save them. in my underwear. Yep. you heard me.
I haven't gone outside to see how much rain we've gotten (mostly because it's been pouring in the mornings when I leave, and by the time I get home it's dark, cold and wet). But it's gotta be in the 2" range based on the amount of ponding we had in the backyard when I got up today...
