I'm usually happy with a couple minutes.
My weather app on my iPhone has been abysmal lately. It'll show rain in the forecast all day with a clear radar. Last night it would toggle between rain and no rain between 7-9pm.
My hood actually got some real rain the other night. Was lucky, MSP station only recorded .03" and Crystal Airport station, just north of me, only .18".
Just looked at the rain gauge. 1.3" of rain...in 1 hour. I'll take it.
Agreed, laid in the hammock for a bit and it was darn near perfect.
It is dry. Low well levels is making it difficult to keep the pressure up in the regional water system. Low pressure = boil advisory and use restrictions.

Update: Bottom line is, we all need to keep using less water. We are still under a boil advisory and level yellow mandatory conservation. We were able to take our first round of tests to the lab today. We will take the second round tomorrow. We will then have to take a third round on Thursday. IF all of those pass, and we are able to keep the pressure up in every tower, then we will be able to lift the advisory. Therefore, we are looking at Friday at the earliest to lift the boil advisory. All towers continue to struggle and have gotten close to dropping below pressure again. If this happens, we will have to continue the boil advisory, and start over on our sample taking. Please call the office at 712-343-2413 if you have any questions. Again, this does not include Council Bluffs, Underwood, McClelland, Harlan or Weston.
Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues boil order for specific western Iowa residents, businesses
Officials said a problem in the distribution system resulted in a loss of pressure — this advisory is being issued as a precaution until bacteria sample results become available.

It was very spotty. The "official" rainfall (measured 7 miles from here) was 0.01"!
Nice bit of rain in Indianola this morning. My little dog was having none of it, but my boy did go right away.
Right in the area I grew up in. Will have to make sure my parents see this though.It is dry. Low well levels is making it difficult to keep the pressure up in the regional water system. Low pressure = boil advisory and use restrictions.

Omaha recorded the driest May ever on record .17 of an inch. Crops at standstill, with some planted on cover crops not germinating. Tile lines haven’t ran since early March.
