Mine started yesterday with torrential expected today. Looking at 3-5 inches forecast. I am making no complaints about that as I was a couple of weeks ago when it was "merely" a tropical storm before it exploded into the Cat 4 hurricane with all that horrific flooding. As you said, I cannot imagine 50+ inches. Life changing in so many ways.

The weatherman said it would start raining about 4:00 this afternoon. It has looked ready to pour since noon, I've heard some thunder but it is 5:30 now & just an occasional drop. Supposed to get 4-7", & closer to the 7" expected but I'm questioning that upper end. The chart the weatherman was showing, looked like all around us was getting about 3-4", don't know why Bowling Green would be "lucky" enough to get the 6 or 7". We got about 1 1/2" a couple days ago, so ground is pretty soggy already. Westbourne Homestead is liking the rain, I found a new scape yesterday, & another showed up today.

Updated to say we've had several bands of heavy rain Thursday evening. It looks like we'll end up with 6-8 inches of rain by Saturday. It's a lot heavier than I thought it would be.

I Was thinking about you Debra since I knew it was supposed to be in Memphis yesterday. Here we were warned of the possibility of tornadoes , and spent some scary time in our basement with a small one on the ground headed straight for us, but we were blessed and it de-intensified just before it reached us. We got just a much needed two inches from Harvey and woke to such a nice cool morning. That monster storm will be remembered for a long time, won't it?

The rain from remnants of Harvey will not come here till late Saturday into early Sunday based on the weather reports this morning. I don't expect high rain totals as some of you have/are experiencing.

Hope that I don't get too much. It has been a very wet summer here. My cousins live in Pearland where they got 40+' of water. Luckily, their houses were high enough that they were not flooded.

Yeah, a lot heavier here than I ever expected. DH watched the news & says we got the 6" now, & still raining, supposed to continue til tomorrow morning. I woke up in the middle of the night & couldn't get back to sleep for a couple of hours, so I slept in late. At least not still the heavy downpours we got overnight. They mentioned tornadoes here too, I assume the time has passed for that, the winds have died down. We have a huge new pond in our back yard, and another small one in the ditch at the end of the driveway. They say now we may get another 5" before it stops in the morning.

Nancy, what is zone 6t? I think you used to say zone 6b.

We had tornado warnings last night with the storm track just a few miles north of our home, but I didn't see anything about destruction in those areas this morning so I guess there were no touchdowns. But there was flooding last night in five areas of Nashville, and at least 10 families, probably more later, were evacuated from their homes. Parts of Interstate 40 here also were closed due to flooding.

Kay- Yes, I agree Monster Harvey will be remembered.

I have no idea where the t came from, I haven't changed anything, at least not intentionally. Hadn't even noticed, guess I need to see what happened.

It has been raining all morning but nothing intense so far.
