Here is the video from my location: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bX5fgVKYsU<br /><br />Also, just one mile to my South.

I was on my bike in NE Portland and was lucky enough to be able to take shelter under a shelter in Irving Park. When it finally left and I headed out again I discovered the nearby streets to be under a foot and more of water. This on a day with a forecast of "10 percent chance of showers." I'm glad to know that the world can still manage to elude prediction though.

However, Saturday's storm definitely brought the rain as you mentioned. My own sensor reported .71 inches in 24 hrs. I haven't looked at the hourly data yet, but since it had been dry the rest of the day, that should have all come from the thunderstorm.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468734038469683964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-58735065306959184952012-05-27T08:47:27.318-07:002012-05-27T08:47:27.318-07:00Yup.

At my friend's house 1/2 a mile away, tons of rain and dime sized hail piled up in drifts.<br />It didn't last as long as Friday night's T-storm, and I don't think any trees got hit like in Friday's storm.<br />All in all, a really fun weather weekend for us!<br /><br />http://www.columbian.com/news/2012/may/25/storm-sweeping-through-clark-county/snapdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052978249380402838noreply@blogger.com
