OC records Over Four Inches of Rain in Two Days

Over four inches of rain fell in Oconee County in just two days, reports Official U.S. Weather Observer Barbara Wilson from her weather station at Hickory Hollow Farm in Walhalla. “What I recorded from Sunday was 1.19 inches and then from 7am Monday to 7am Tuesday, we had 2.89 inches, which gives us just over four inches. Then a couple of weeks ago, we had almost an inch and a half, so we’re close to six inches for April so far. The high yesterday was 58 and the low was 52.” 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.
