8/3/2012 5:30 AM 2.54 M M M M Two thunderstorms during the day yesterday: one occurred from 10AM to noon, the second from 3PM-5PM (both time periods approximate). Ckeck KFBG and KFAY for details. At 5PM, Dark Branch was well out of its banks; measured on my home-made stream gauge, the water had risen to +23" when I measured it at 5PM after rain had ended. It may have been higher earlier. "Normal" water level range is -1" to 2-3" with occasional levels reaching +9" in heavier rainfall events. We've lived here since 1989; this is the highest we've seen this stream level. Last time it approached this level was in Sepetmber (?) 1989 (before we moved in). Since 1989, upstream development (including a golf course damming the stream and another large project clearing a wooded area) has, I think, affected runoff.
8/4/2012 8:00 AM 0.03 M M M M This 0.03" catch is the result of an early report on 3 Aug. This amount fell on the morning of 3 Aug before 12Z but after I recorded my 3 Aug report. Dark Branch water level has dropped to -1".

7/1/2012 3:30 PM No hail pad here in NC -- it's a rare event. Most hail was dime-sized or smaller; 3/8" is an estimated average. I did save (freeze) 3 of the larger hail stones. Can't report reliably about the angle of fall... a lot was bouncing off our rather steep-pitch roof. However, there was no significant surface wind during the storm. The intensity/amount of hail did not cover the ground... perhaps 20 hailstones per square foot. 1 1/4" Half Dollar Size 3/8" NA Hard|Mixed|Clear Ice|White Ice 20 3min no damage Intermittent True After rain After smaller hail
