Who else in the southeast is just soaked through?
Here in western North Carolina, we've had rain almost nonstop since last Sunday... we definitely need the water, but I just wish it wasn't coming all in one fell swoop. The lake outside looks a little bit too high for my comfort.

Everyone else in the area doing OK? :hi:

1. Lots of flash flooding here in central Arkansas
The pond on our property is full and over a boat dock that is usually a foot above the water line.

2. Yep, it's coming down in buckets here in the metro Atlanta area.
Flooding everywhere. My co-worker's driveway caved in and she can't even get back to her house. Another co-worker's basement and kitchen flooded. Fortunately, my house is on high land with no creek or rivers nearby. I just hope I can get home from work without hitting any flooded streets.

I've seen some of the footage on weather.com - looks particularly bad in the Atlanta area. Be careful!

3. We've already had 5.81" of rain this month (3.61' is average) and rain
is in the forecast for tonight and the next 4 days. My yard squishes when you walk on it.

9. I know the feeling. Our yard is completely saturated
The rain has not stopped once today. A few dry moments over the weekend, but today has been nothin' but rain.

4. Just a little bit of thunderstorm activity
but so far it's all passing closer to the coast, than further inland where we're at. I haven't seen a good rain in a couple of weeks...

10. I could be wrong, but it seems Georgia and the Carolinas are
bearing the brunt of it :shrug:

15. Atlanta here
and it is WET. Poor doggies, can barely get them outside to poop & pee. I broke my ankle in January, and I'm scared I'm gonna slip in the mud and break it again.

Rain, rain, go away ...

17. Yeah, there's some dense rain going on there
but there's some severe weather going on over north Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, too.

I like Weather Underground for a weather site, other than the National Weather Service, where you can get into the meteorological details finer than the commercial sites :)

5. I'm at the airport in Key West
and we heard they just cancelled all flights into Atlanta. Certainly from here, not sure about everywhere else.

11. hmm. Not surprised
It has not stopped raining here all day (all night last night); I'm about a 3 hour drive north of the Atlanta airport; conditions certainly aren't safe.

6. drenched
I just bought a dehumidifier for the basement, and I could swear they were $50 cheaper last year. Lowe's must know that they can charge whatever they want for them at this point.

18. Not the southeast but
we've been getting pounded all afternoon in NE OK and are still in for more through the night. Roads were so flooded on the way home from work that my car almost stalled a couple of times trying to get through a couple of places. Oy! We've had so much rain the past week that was gentle yet consistent, there's nowhere else for it all to go!
