Oct 11-12 Rainfall

Obtained from National Water Prediction Service on October 12 Yesterday we had a decent rainfall here in New Jersey and environs. I measured about 2.35 inches in my rain gauge. As it had been several days since we had a decent rainfall I was starting to wonder about increased wildfire danger if the rain continued to hold off or if we only had light rainfall. While I know that soil can dry up and there is also a risk of wildfires, I am grateful for the rain.
