7 Inches and Counting

Why are these frogs smiling? Because they haven't had this much attention in a long, dry time. I emptied the gauge yesterday when it read 4" and it's close to 3" now.

I read in the newspaper that from Sunday evening to Tuesday morning, Lake Lanier rose about 6 inches, according to the weather service.

Enjoy this much needed rain and remember what Longfellow said:
"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain."

UPDATE: As of 4:00 PM we have had 9" of rain. We went out and took some pictures of our creek and road. Our county is under a Flash Flood warning.
