More Rain falls in OC

More rain fell in Oconee County on Wednesday, June 27. Official U.S. Weather Observer Barbara Wilson gives rainfall totals over the past three days recorded at her weather station at Hickory Hollow Farm in Walhalla. “Yesterday and two days before, we had only less than half an inch of rain, but on Tuesday evening we had 1.41 inches with heavy downpours and thunderstorms. I know other areas in the county had more or less than we did, but it has been scattered.” Numbers may be different where you live, Wilson recorded these figures from her weather station, which is about a mile from downtown Walhalla. Wilson and her family, the Brandts, have been recording the weather from Walhalla for the National Weather Service for over 100 years. They are the longest active weather watchers and volunteer reporters for the National Weather Service.
