This is my Lee Valley rain gauge and even though it's in inches, there was one heck of a lot of rain. It's actually full. There's been more than 100 mm of rain over the past 3 days (that's 5.5 inches in my rain gauge). We did need this rain - just not so darn much at one time. It will keep the forest fires at bay for another week or two and the garden wet for another week. I've learned that water is feast or famine. There's lots of road closures in the area and our dear river trail has been partly washed away, but compared to the devastation of so many other places it's very calm in our neighbourhood.
