How Much Rain?

It just started raining here on the near west side of Chicago. Beautiful site those roiling clouds.

The forecast calls for about an inch or so -- not complaining.

How much did others get in nearby areas?

I got one whole inch here in Jefferson Park (northwest side). Woo-hoo! What a great surprise.

Wah, I'm JEALOUS. We're between Springfield and St. Louis and it's just HOT. We did get about .6" last week which helped. But we need a bunch more!!

Between when it rained this afternoon and when I got home from work at 5:30, the pavement had about dried...except for the puddles. My answer is that Oak Park didn't get enough rain! My fingers are crossed for more.
