When a drought of “historic proportions” is underway, folks want to know how much rain they got in their particular community, even if it is not much. A wide variation in the last 24 hours. Here we go down the list. A chance that I might overlook a report or two, certainly not intentional. I need sausage balls urgently to sharpen my attention.

FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER
* Most of these reports are through 6 am. It is possible that additional rain occurred after that time especially in the eastern regions of the state.
* We sometimes get more than one report from the same city, town or communmity–thus listed more than once.
* Skycam gages reset to zero at midnight but I was too busy to download the amounts at that time.
* This is overkill, I know, but people want to know the rain amounts more than the Auburn-Alabama score.
* Fingertips are blue, numb, and coffee-stained
