Hey Gene --
In spite of that fantastic photo of the Ft Walton Beach Pier with the waves pounding - not a drop of rain in my neighborhood. Hope you "dry out."

Cheers - Jim
 
I was wondering how you were doing Gene. Thought that you might be in the clamper in case you needed to float.

Is it over yet?
 
Well shit. I've been looking for the last half hour for rainfall to date here in Vegas with no luck. Just take my word for it, GENE has probably gotten more rainfall in the time it has taken to read this post than we've gotten all year.
No shit.

Just did it manually, checking each month since I can't find a running total anywhere on the internet (information superhighway, my ass) and as of today Las Vegas is sitting at .25" so far for the year. So if you want to send some our way we'll be happy to take it.

Far as sprinklers go, I have a water/air HVAC system, so the 30' well is the heat sink for the waste end of the heat/cool cycle for the house, also a white roof that cut my attic temps by over 40f.....the waste water from the well is mainly used to irrigate my lawns/gardens.....series of manually switched areas, or I dump it down the storm sewer if too much.....flooding at bottom of the hill, folks there about 2" from their slab....young couple got lied to about flooding when they bought a house there, she is really upset, this is the 3rd time that house has flooded in the 15 years I been here....she said they did ask, but my only comment was 'Like my father said, years ago, 'never buy a house at bottom of the hill' that little bit of wisdom came from some serious flooding in W. Va. I was about 3 y/o.....

and so about 2 miles from us here basically on top of this hill/plateau the town set on, is Wife's daughter/family.....their house was nearly flooding also....land is pretty flat there, but I would have thought the storm sewers would be large enough to carry the load, could be debris on the grates too, those leaves love to lie flat and stop up anything....

:shocking: and yes we sure as hell would love to send this surplus to you guys out west, especially Colorado? that on fire....like a runaway train, no brakes at all for you guys.....

:banghead::bestwishes:
 
Sure wish we could chance get some of that water up this way. Having a very dry year up here and its not looking good for all the crop in the area.

Send some our way, please. The whole state is on fire, been breathing smoke for weeks now. The sun is red, the sky grey, and every day another one crops up.

I remember '98, just a year after my move here, and so the swamps down south on fire, and seeing little leaves off trees, all burnt but intact, landing on my lawn outta the smoke/fire.....looked like Maple leaves to me, being from Maryland/DC region....dunno what it was, just sad....
