Rain, Rain, and More Rain

Dad arrived early yesterday afternoon and we decided to grill up some steaks. My weather guy, Jeremy, said that we should be good to grill since any rain that might come our way would be gone by evening, so we went ahead and fired up the grill. At some point while we were eating, it began raining. Over the span of about 2 1/2 hours, we ended up with 3.4 inches of rain. Our backyard was flooded and I decided to take some pictures and sent them to Jeremy over at our NBC affiliate. A couple of e-mails back and forth and one of the photos I sent him ended up on their blog. I ended up the big winner for rainfall, which is a first. You can see it by clicking here! (you'll see my comment as soon as the page pops up, just scroll up to the top to see my backyard!) It's kind of fun to read the comments because it shows the progression of the rain.
