Yep, uncanny, Huntsville 70 miles west, has gotten 7" rain this July. 7/30 Thurs. night, I'd refer to online doppler radar, then go out on the porch to watch the storms roll in. The rain would roll up along the Tennessee Valley and to the west. My pond is a dozen miles to the east of the TnV. June rainfall 1.67"; July thru the 30th 2.03". Day after day, I'd watch the creek slow and the pond level refuse to rise though 6gpm was pumping in. 7/31 today it did rain 'bout 1". The pond came up an inch in spite of no water being pumped and the water is cloudy 12" visability. This should give the DB-100 I plan to apply 8/3 something to adhere with. The creek went from gpm to cfs \:\)

(8/1 edit remark) Thanks Belkins for sharing your rain! I don't know how much it rained, yet my pond rose 4" today!!
3 little bull(frogs) can just be seen close to the bank
(8/4 drat, stupid stunt, killed water pump impeller, ran it dry; will have to add DB-100 in Oct)

(*My trip back to AL pond has been postponed until Thanksgiving!)
