My dad told me in a recent phone conversation that 2020 was the wettest year since the 1800s for North Carolina (I asked him if he remembered that year). A few months ago, we had 9 inches come down in just half a day. One town had 38 inches of rain! I have never seen so much water moving everywhere even ponds in the middle of the woods now have current.
