Hi Neighbors -

This message is for those of you who are not on the island right now. It's a little update on an amazing day of rain.

If you have a cistern it is probably full. If it's not, have somebody check the condition of your downspouts, because you should be filling up rapidly.

Last time I checked we'd had 10.5 inches of rain in the past 24 hours - and 9 of those inches fell in about 4 hours.

Boats are sinking. Roads up our way are under water. The frogs are already making frog noises in the back yard. If I had an underwater camera I'd take photos. When there is a break in the weather I'll give a try and send a visual along for reference.

This is one for the record books.

Suggest you keep an eye on the further stats by visiting: http://sanpedroweather.com

I got me standing on my head!!

Pouring and the sun is trying to break through......oh pleeeese do!

check out oklahoma yesterday, from a friend...:
Oklahoma Hot Tub: When baseball sized hail pelts your swimming pool. LOL!

So what do you do when the downspouts are internal to the wall, and there's no valve?

(That is, apart from wading around in the dining room, which is what we we've been doing for a few hours).

James - Yikes - is there no overflow for the cistern? Check - there should be one ...... You can try to put a big hose in the cistern and drain it out ..... good luck !

Our Cisterns are overflowing. So is the pool.

This weather is so weird one minute pouring rain so much you can't hardly see, the next the sun is out.

Now it's blowing and raining but I can still see the Reef.

What a crazy day.
