We survived the deluge

This storm passed over the Holly household late last night. We didn't get flooded, but there was plenty of rain and several close lightning strikes (one was so close my wife heard the "fizz" as it hit). It scared my 3 year-old daughter so badly I had to snuggle her for 30 minutes to get her back to sleep.

Still, the storm did dump alot of rain on the Holly lawn and garden. I can keep my sprinklers off for another few days. It's been a nice, cool, wet June so far, and the weather has been perfect.

Unless, of course, you're a water manager or hydrologist (see below).
