Bob,
We received about 4.3 inches of rain in October, according to the average of my two rain gauges. Nearly half of it was in the 1.9 inch rainfall on October 22nd. The others were piddly, slow rains averaging about a half inch each. We only received a total of 0.6 inches in September. It still seems dry here, moderate drought according to the US Drought Monitor website. October didn't come close to making up for September. We need a good three day rain of about 4" total.

It's 81 degrees here now, and humid. Dew point is 65 deg.
