Unofficially (but close) the total is about 5.25 so far.. But we have about 24 hours to go.. Should get a little more today and tonight.. According to prognostications.. We had some good training storms yesterday and that was when we got the bulk of the rain..
Lake is on slow rise.. Creeks will be draining into lake for several days and we'll see what we catch.. But it is not going to be huge..
We should not be releasing any water of consequence for a good while.. And water saved is as good as water caught..
The real rain fell south of the dam and lake tributaries.. Near miss..

Would have thought the big Mexican creek down south, Salinillias would have caught some water being down south with the way the bands wrapped around but maybe not. As dry as things are the as far south the storm when probably missed.
Thanks, Billy

I think I may be the closest at this point with my guess of 5.22". If I win, I would like to donate the prize pack to a High School team or some other kid that could use it.

Iโve poured out 4โ from my gauge. Most of it Sunday afternoon. Itโs probably more because Sunday at 7 am I only had 1/4โ. I canโt see the gauge being accurate with the rain coming in sideways.
