wow!, i was surprised to see such low rain fall rates.

we got nearly 3" here in between garden city and blountsville, it really started good at 4pm and lasted very hard until 4:45pm, but it kept raining until 6pm, also 2 pine trees uprooted by our barn and branches broke off everywhere around the house.
