Random weather thread

We are in the middle of a heavy rain storm to beat all rain storms. I need to get my spring food plot planted. It's going to be another week or so.
Also need to get the weeds mowed and grass sprayed in my clover plots.

The white spot in the center of the picture is water spraying up 18" high out of my down spout tile. When I loaded the picture and seen the screen squares the rain let up and the water spout is down.

Interesting evening yesterday. Had a funnel about 5 miles east of us and another 10 miles west of us. The one west of us stuck around from Xenia all the way up towards Troy. Hope everyone made it through without much damage.

 
We got over 4" of rain. Lots of flooding in the area. Glad I live on top of a hill. My 700' driveway does have about 40' drop from the road but 3 yrs ago I put 3 french drains across the driveway and no water gets to the house.
 
Frank were you without power last night? We lost power from about 6:45 - 8:45 and we also got a shit ton of rain. Had a river running through the back side of my property.

Our power was on OK. You have Hamilton city power and something probably happened in town.
My creek down below sounded like a jet engine roaring.
 
About 4-4.5" in just under 2hrs starting at 3pm. That's a 36" culvert under the road, our 24" is at max capacity under the drive apron. The wheel barrow was bone dry, lol. Got a neighbors beer bottle, shipping plastic and front mailbox lid.
