Remnants of Tropical Storm Lee

We've had our fair share of rain, going from less than a quarter of an inch for August to 10+ inches already in September! The locals here in Cleveland, TN took to the "field" across the street from our warehouse with kayaks and bathing suits! Normally it's a nice area with a walking trail, however with the stream flowing nearby, it's turned into a lake.

"Heavy rain from the former Tropical Storm Lee rolled northeast into Appalachian states Tuesday, spreading the threat of flooding as far as New England after drenching the South, spawning tornadoes, sweeping several people away and knocking out power to thousands.

Rain kept falling Tuesday in Chattanooga, Tenn., which went from its driest-ever month in August with barely a drop to a record one-day deluge of 8.16 inches by 5 p.m. Monday. By dawn Tuesday, 10 inches of rain had fallen in the state's fourth-largest city." Quote taken from an article at Forbes.com!
