22 inches of rain in 5 hours. That is absolutely amazing!!

Wow! That's more than 1/3 of the annual total rainfall for Seattle! Crazy....

Calif. needs the water. Well, we would love to have your overflow out this way. Most counties have been declared a drought zone so we will have almost no river fishing this winter/spring and in 3-5 years when the salmon and steelhead would be returning there will be few or none allowed as a catch. That has happened in the past.

It's one of of those freak weather things that tend to happen. I would love to give the rainfall to California....a place that needs it....but I'm not Mother Nature! 88 today and poolside....gotta love it!!

We've certainly not had that much rain in that space of time over here but many of the rivers have broken their banks and well....

We've had some weather, currently blowing a force 12 outside and hail - i'm just leaving the workshop and heading home.

Thankfully I live in Hampshire and although we are being battered by the sea it isn't too bad.

The irony of this is last year we were looking for an Osprey 26 and planned to buy one from Ireland, we didn't go to have a look at it as the weather was so bad - so we bought an Albin!
