It's been a long time since we have had heavy rains that flood the street and form swamps in the back yards. We have had a fairly dry summer, and I have had to water the garden frequently. Then starting a few days ago we had some decent rain showers, and yesterday it rained cats and dogs all morning.
From the way that the rain came in waves of heavy downpours I thought that perhaps we were experiencing the fringes of what is left of Hurricane Laura. But I looked at the weather radar, and it appeared to be a different system. The weather reports made no mention of the former hurricane being the cause of our rain.
In the afternoon there was a lull and even some sunshine. But then in late afternoon the rain began again, at times heavy, and lasted until around 9:00 P.M. We had more than 3 inches of rain in total.
Well, I don't think I will have to water the garden for a few days!
