Rain gage is flooded

WA0ITP
I wish it were last Spring. We're gettin waay too much rain. My rain gage goes
to 6" and has overflowed with the rain since Friday. BIG boomers every morning this weekend and again today. I have 2 small ditches in the back yard which are flooding, as is a large ditch in the neighbors back yard. This one is ~10 feet wide. The street is curb to curb and this is the only place in the state that has rain. Must be a message there. My ants have been unhooked all weekend and I'm having radio withdrawal. Cmon sunshine. Last Spring was drier and far more pleasant. ---------------------------------- I love this radio stuff ! 72 WA�ITP www.wa0itp.com www.4sqrp.com

I understand that several homes about a mile and a half northwest of town were struck. That's a little too close, thank you very much! My gauge shows 1.6" this morning and I suspect it was heavier to the west of the tornado track.

I was about to wish for a bit of rain here... but Nate has a convincing point.. maybe I'd better be happy with a bit of dry, just now. Will keep praying that all is well, and no one gets hurt. Although the current forecasts indicate maybe a eye to the sky would be warranted today. Stay safe. Good Luck We've had a couple of scattered T-showers here.. less than .2 inch from both. Have a great day, --... ...-- Dale - WC7S in Wy To: 4sqrp@... From: n0nb@... Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 06:56:14 -0500 Subject: Re: [4sqrp] Rain gage is flooded

Same story in Central Illinois Terry. Conditions you describe are almost identical. We have a line of trees along our backyard that has so many singing tree frogs in it they keep us awake. Sounds like a jungle out there! Fortunately, my 6-BTV (which is guyed) survived high winds yesterday (close to 60mph). Woody / WD9F

I'm on the other side of town from Woody. Tornado touched down 1-1.5 miles North of us last night. No bad damage here but there are about 1,000 homes in the area with no power. Our phone and Internet was out for several hours and is still having periodic problems.

Same heavy rain here in Kansas; we got 2 inches. Suspect we sent it your way; SW to NE. Thanks for the reminder Woody; I need to "guy" my SteppIR vertical; it's 33 feet up and spec says will handle 60 mph winds; hm...we'll see. I have it secured to the eve at ten feet, so guessing it will be AOK. Best of luck on Field Day gentlemen! Uncle Phil. Tim McDonough N9PUZ wrote:

A couple of days without the threat of thunderstorms has let Oklahoma City dry out a little. The wet WX must have moved North.
I don’t have a rain gage but the lakes are full around the city.
It has been overcast, windy and cool all day. My kind of WX (under 90 deg).
It will be hot before we know it though.
