Much needed rainfall

In case you haven't read prior posts or maybe forgot. We have been slowly coming back from a severe drought since last summer. It was stated last year that the only way to recover from it was a tropical storm. Seems like it never fails that Florida gets hit every year with some kind of system. Even if it's not hurricane strength they always get hit with something. One would think that with being the next state up that we would benefit with the rain. Last year it seemed like there was a bubble over most of Georgia.

This summer we are much closer to being out of the drought but still behind on rainfall. Last I heard we were wavering around 12"(not a hundred percent sure when I saw an update last.) behind. Fay did hit Florida about a week ago or so. Last week we were keeping our fingers crossed in northern Georgia that the rain will make it up to us. Fortunately, the weather pattern wrapped herself through Alabama and back to us. So, for the past few days we've been getting rain.

Granted about half of the rain is just light rain but we need whatever we can get. This may not pull us completely out but she will help fill the lakes a little more.

I'm sure the amount of rainfall has been updated over the past few days but with the Olympics going on most of the news has been a big blur for me. I'm sure that most of you don't care but as soon as I hear an update with lack of rainfall I'll update everyone.
