I'm somewhere over 30 inches but don't know how much.
I'm finding that Farmlogs is interesting but gets it's info from various places that doesn't always match up with my rain gauge and I don't live there. But, it is interesting.
I've found another rain tool. Wundermap will show the different electronic weather stations owned and reported by private individuals. There's one that is about 3/4 mile from my place and even his doesn't always match up to my rain gauge. But it is a lot closer to my gauge than Farmlogs.
Farmlogs shows
2015 33.91 YTD a/o a week or so ago
2014 34.58 including an 8.5 inch one day rain
2013 33.26
2012 25.05
2011 22
2010 38
I'm still overflowing from water draining out of the hills around my ponds. Actually I have 9 ponds on my place. Or, I now have 9 man made depressions in the ground. Some of those have rarely been wet and everything I have leaks. 6 will soon dry up. I have fish in the other 3 and one is strictly for mosquito control.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Dave,
I use the farmlogs.com a as well. It seems a bit off (light), though...may try wundermaps. I'm not worried so much about the rain falling on my place as I am about the watershed north of me (Lime Creek). It drains a large parcel of land right by my place. Houston is a mess this morning...Buffalo Bayou that runs through downtown looks like the Trinity River.
...when in doubt...set the hook...

Dave, another week of rain, and you'll have an East TX pond. It'll start in Bowie, but it may end here.

I signed up for farmlogs.com, and now my spam inbox is getting 25-30 e-mails a day.
How much rain did Houston get yesterday? Last that I saw it was 6" in 3 hours.
I looked at Arrowhead and Kickapoo water levels, and they are full. So, I guess the drought at Wichita is officially over?

I keep very good logs since I just finished digging my 2 acre pond on November 1st last year. Since January 1'st 2015 we have had an incredible 55 and 6/10 inches of rain here in deep east Texas!!!!

We've got more rain forecasted for this afternoon as well. Actually, every day to and through next Sunday. Every crack or low spot around is holding water around here...incredible! Pat. W. said he had 6" on the south side as well. If Farmlogs get too crazy with the emails, I'll unsubscribe from the distribution.

Scott, I'm only getting an EMail when I get measurable rain. And, that's only one per day.
The WF drought is over, the Little Wichita River is flooding, and people are being evacuated.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I only get an e-mail with measureable rain from them too, nothing else, but my spam/junk mailbox is getting really hit with e-mail from people offering diet pills, roof repairs, attorney services, etc, etc.
If nobody else is getting that, then it must be someone else sold their e-mail list, but I haven't given out my e-mail addy to anybody else lately.

I use gmail, granted the penalty is Google data-mines it so I don't send anything too personal, but the spam filters in are exceedingly good.
Yahoo on the other hand... let's just say the span I got was not family appropriate. Somehow my email wound up on every bad site you could imagine. I quit it and let it fill on up. Hopefully Yahoo has devoted an entire server farm to deal with my dead account. I think it was a result of having a pissing-match on a tech forum years ago, my opponent thought is would be fun to submit my Email everywhere.

Watching a dam be breached just south of Arlington today on the news. Looked like about 5 or 6 massive trash pumps put onto the area, soon to be washed out. Those trash pumps are not coming even close to removing the inflow of water! Made me wonder why those in charge are going to waste a few hundred grand in equipment when some 12" siphons could have been installed just as fast and move MUCH more water out of the lake at a fraction of the cost....... http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Authori...-305135031.html

Rex -
Can you elaborate - how can siphons move more water than pumps? I'm completely ignorant on this topic but very curious to learn.

A siphon, once all air is removed, uses the weight of the water above the outlet, plus gravity to force the flow of water through the pipe. Here is a good description of advantages and disadvantages of both pump and siphon systems done by Montana. http://dnrc.mt.gov/divisions/water/opera...ical_note_9.pdf

I don't use a main email account for that type of stuff for that very reason. I got burned too many times in the past and have learned my lesson. Here in Houston (Galleria area) we had rivers and ponds on our main streets (Richmond, San Felipe, Chimney Rock, Sage, etc)

...heading up to my place this morning to check on things. Looks like a system is heading through there, now. If my siphon ever plugs off, it won't be good....

Rex there are a lot of questions about the dam in Arlington that need to be asked.
7.5 inches in Gainesville Texas in 24 hours.

Pat, that's great. I know the feeling. It's been about 15 years since I used my overflow pipe.
