That’s how much rain we had yesterday in the big “100 year storm” according to my digital rain gauge. That’s almost an inch and a half more than they measured at the airport (3.29″), but less than some areas in Chandler (5.85″). We had about 2 inches in the first hour or so, between 2:00 and 3:00 am, and then it tapered down the rest of the night. I just found out that my neighbor’s gauge read 5.20 inches. Not sure why the discrepancy. <\/p>\n

I woke up about 2 am to the roar of very heavy rainfall and the steady “drip drip drip” of water leaking in the house. We had three leaks, two of which I have since fixed, or at least stopped. I can’t figure out where the water comes in at the other leak. Fortunately it’s not something I have to worry about very often, and it has opportunity to dry out between storms. Still, I need to find and fix that leak.<\/p>\n

I’m glad our house sits up high, with a low back yard to catch the water. Our neighborhood is well designed for heavy rain, with most of the overflow going into the lake (which was very full) unlike some areas of the city where a foot or more of water flowed through houses. <\/p>\n

Here’s the basketball court under a couple of inches of water.
