We haven't had rain in seriously like 2 1/2 weeks. We need some bad. This is what happened last year and the year before that when our town was under water. It was a small draught, then we got 3 1/2 inches of rain in 45 minutes and 10 inches in 16 hours, the ground couldn't handle all that water at once and resevoir hadn't lost enough water to take all the extra water in. The water went OVER the reservoir dike.
