Right as Rain
Right as Rain

Driving to town twice yesterday, I was amazed at how swiftly the waters rose under the inch or so of rain we got.
After the drought fears, the saying right as rain has a whole new meaning. The storm was beautiful.

At the Eel River Con Camp, they had almost 2 1/2 inches of rain yesterday, during the daylight hours. There has been almost 5 inches in this storm. Maybe some of our water washed your way.
I don’t want to hear anymore whining about “we need the rain”. The old-timers said that if they could get four inches of rain in May that would be all that they needed.
You can expect a riotous field flower season this year, thanks to the rain! Now hopefully it will go away. Gimme Sonshine!
When the rain starts flowing this hard into the creeks, the land is soaked and isn’t getting the full benefit. We could have a break for a week or two. But I’m still enjoying the rain.
We recieved 6.6 inches of rain in our rain gauge. Wow.
It was a real storm!
I got drenched in it. Silly me thought it couldn’t be too bad to run into the store without my umbrella. That’s quite a little flood in your photo.
I walked over to a friend’s yesterday afternoon and passed over one of the valley’s many creeks. Though it had been raining a lot for most of the day, the creek didn’t look much different than it did during our dry days. On my way home a few hours later, that same creek had risen a lot. I was pretty amazed… though I shouldn’t have been, considering how hard it rained the entire time I was at my buddy’s place.
You could have kept more of it down there, if I had my druthers. I also got soaked going to the store the other day.
you have a new look! I like it.
it almost looks like a flood.
One dry spring, it rained six inches on Memorial Day weekend. Trapped a bunch of campers at Benbow Campground when the river covered the summer bridge. Cal Trans cut a road down from the freeway to get them out.. The wind was a little scary yesterday.
