Two and a half inches in 45 minutes

Well, we finally got that promised rain. Unfortunately it came down a little too fast to soak in very well. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.

My Crepe Myrtle tree before the rain.

And then immediately after the rain.

The back of my house (all the brown stuff you see is actually floating on the water)

My back yard, which normally does not have a pond in it.

My front yard, which normally does not have a small river running through it.

And the radar indicates that there could be more heavy rain yet to come. I'm not complaining though.
