How much have you had?

We have gotten 8.5" at my house in the past 1.5 weeks.
 
Weatherman says ~8". My pool was in standing water though...
 
About 3 weeks ago we had 4.5 in one afternoon,maybe 4 hours. I've never seen it rain so hard here unless it was a tropical storm or hurricane.

Lots here!

I don’t watch much news but I haven’t heard that dreaded d word mentioned yet this summer.
 
We got another 1.5" last night, bringing the total to 10" over the past 1.5 weeks.
 
I was tempted to just put my kayak in on HWY421 and paddle to work...
 
This summer has sucked for my garden. Went a couple months with little to no rain to where most of my plants died. What didn't die has hardly produced any produce (see what I did there?). We've got like 4 tomatoes the size of a tennis ball and they were supposed to be Beefsteak tomatoes. They were still very tasty, but just really small and few. Now all the sudden it's like we are getting an Amazon Rain Forest's rain. My grass looks good, but there's barely enough time to mow anything in between torrential rain showers. I have no idea exactly how many inches of rain we've had in the past two weeks but if I so much as hear a weather man say "drought" I will punch him in the throat.
 
I'm not even sure how much Columbia has had, but I'll say everyday for the last week+ has been getting hammered by afternoon rain. We only got maybe an inch yesterday so I'm guessing that means 2"+ today. And of course, Im driving my Jeep. :lol:

I think we are turning into Florida. In order to complete the transition, I need one of you guys to go do something completely inexplicable and get it plastered on national news!

I'm working on it now.
 
Enough for a stupid truck driver to back his truck into the job site with about 10” of standing mud.... thought I was going to have to get a bull dozer out of the yard.
