Question Rain in TX, OK and KS??

I was so glad to see some rain for Texas and parts of Oklahoma and Kansas. How much rain actually fell out there for you? (if I missed the thread on this, please delete!)

We got 2.5 inches at our place today. We were so happy to see it rain. So many of our trees have died this year.

Quite a wide range - but that's a big area . Hope you ALL get a good rain and then more - maybe some of these late-season storms will send more moisture your way.

Just under 5" at my house (Houston region). And still falling. We've got another line of intense rain about to pass over.

I'm loving every drop of it.

2.5" in Liberty Hill TX in my gauge, but I think more as the wind was blowing pretty good and rain would have just gone sideways. So thankful.

We are down 20" since last October, so could use some regular rainfall for a few weeks. Need to recharge the wells and fill up tanks and lakes. Water is precious.

I count myself fortunate. Sorry to hear the raind missed you so far. I think the rain belt on the news was getting wider as it moved north. I didn't get enough to have puddles or run off yet. A very nice gentle rain.

We got some rain yesterday and last night and it rained pretty steady for several hours this afternoon. The cracks in my yard are mostly gone and we have some standing water! I'm all of that will be gone tomorrow but it's nice to see.

Something over 4 inches here, not too much runoff, just a lot of good soak-in.
