Measured 1.81" but the gauge funnel was full of hail when I checked during the storm. I can't say for sure how much precipitation actually fell.

Over a dozen homes have been destroyed. The few thunder storms yesterday seemed to produce more lightning than any significant rain. Our neighborhood is "on edge" due to a recent wildfire in March of last year. The conditions are ripe for another fire. It seems that the current drought will surpass the 2002 season and the disastrous Hayman fire.

7/31/2012 6:25 AM 0.28 M M M M Some very welcome moisture. The monsoon flow has been a very welcome relief but we've yet to get a good downpour this summer...only the one accompanied by the terrible hail storm on June 6th.
8/1/2012 8:00 AM 0.68 M M M M Tow storm events: The first at 2:45 had damaging hail and 0.45" of precip. The Later storm(s) dropped another 1/4" of rain (total precipitation=0.68"). A really good and welcome soaking...could hve done w/o the hail. More yard mess to cleanup now.
