Man, must be really flat there to build up that much water with a small amount of rain. We got 7" in about 8-10 hours a few weeks ago, creeks were really rolling, but about 2 hours later, it was pretty much back to normal.
Is that normal? I can't even imagine that much rain, that's almost the 8.3" that is the annual precipitation here, in one storm.
We don't get runoff, this area is flat a board, most of it has to be drained by pumping. But there's a few areas with a lower water table. The area below my house though would get the runoff from a few thousand acres of range land, a thousand acres of cropland, but hasn't ever had any runoff in 30 years that I've been able to remember. 7" would have water running over the highway lol.
Build the ark!
