We managed to take a big bite out of our rainfall deficit last week, and even into the weekend. After several days of rain and occasional thunderstorms across our area, green has returned to many local lawns. Unfortunately, for those with agricultural interests, this rain came a bit too late to do much good for certain crops still in the ground.

The multiple days of on-and-off rain, heavy at times, resulted in some impressive rainfall totals. Take a look at just a few of the total numbers from Tuesday morning through Saturday...
