I suspect that after yesterdays longest list ever, instead of counting sheep to go to sleep, you count rain stats!
I feel that it is important to post these additional amounts. All of the numbers below is rain that came after 7 o’clock yesterday morning. Many places in North and East Alabama had not finished receiving their best rain by 7 yesterday morning.

SOME ADDITIONAL SEMI-GOOD NEWS
The rain that we experienced the last two days was a huge top-of-the-line good news event but as for breaking the drought, it was only a drop in the bucket. But consider this also: With clouds hanging on for dear life and temperatures the coolest since who knows when, the soil will hold on to its newly found moisture longer. Not like back when we were in the midst of a long, hot summer!
