Anyone know the exact measurement of a cubit? Much more rain and I'll have an Ark to build. Anyone else in the SE learning new stuff about their property drainage?

In all seriousness, we had a line of storms with thunder and lightning no less then once every minute or two that streamed over us for the entire night... at least 10 hours of uninterrupted thunderstorms. I figure we got at least 3 or 4 inches of rain overnight... that's almost 1/3 of a cubit, I think.

I got to sit in Atlanta traffic on Tuesday at exactly rush hour while the rain went on and on. Not my favorite driving experience lately.

I had 4 inches of snow in a little less than 3 hours on Sunday, 2/17. It was supposed to be a lite dusting of snow.

As a kid the house that I grew up in, the basement flooded with just about every rain. Today myself, and all my brothers and sisters own homes on hills.

Yeah, I drove home in that, too... my drive was a bit shorter then yours, I’d imagine.

I do gotta admit that the water pumping off of the cliff walls north of Chattanooga on 111 was pretty spectacular.

No snow yet for us this year. It's a shame also, I have the best front yard for sledding.
