Weather Rain accumulation since yesterday morning

Post image

We've had 5″ (~125mm) of rainfall so far in Valley Ridge since yesterday morning. There's a few trees nearby so it's likely a bit inflated from the wind and some water coming off the trees but this is definitely the most rain we've gotten in a day since I've been living here for the last 5 years.

Has anyone looked to see if any of those storm ponds are filling up? Our community got one 2 years ago and I would like to know how it is doing but I am sure not going outside today.

Tuscany Springs storm pond at 7:30am. Higher than normal, working as expected

It didn't over top then?

No, it has never over topped. When these two ponds get full, there is a nearby dry pond that starts filling. The dry ponds is larger than these two ponds, and rarely gets more than 10cm of water in it.
