Milk chocolate water filling the river at 5:30 a.m.
The rain gauge shows 4.69 inches of rain for the month as I type. There is one more day in September. Will we make it to five inches of rain for the month? The last time Corrales received more than 4.50 inches of rain in a month was July and September 2013. According to the NOAA records, the Corrales gauge recorded its all-time 24-hour precipitation record of 1.78 inches on July 26, 2013.
The owl and I were the only ones out in the rain this morning.
No trace of the moon through the thick clouds.
The Rio Grande was flowing fast and high at 7:00 a.m.
Doppel happy to be inside, out of the rain.
Rain let up for a few minutes around 4:00 p.m.

Someone left the Jake out in the rain again
When Jake and I got home from our walk in the rain last night, the rain gauge showed 1.75 inches for the month. When I left for my walk at 5:25 this morning, the rain gauge showed 1.84 inches. When I got home at 7:00 it showed 2.0 inches. The rain gauge currently shows 2.71 inches of rain for September. It’s been several years since we received that much rain in one month. It’s supposed to rain Thursday and Friday, also. It seems Super El Niño may have finally arrived.

Rio Grande still flowing from bank to bank
The north flood control arroyo I have to cross to photograph the green slime had floodwater flow bank to bank from the last heavy rain.
It looks like the dam I stood on to photograph the green slime washed out. It was too muddy to walk in the arroyo this morning to get a close look.

The Warning
Doppel loves The Warning sisters
I went to see The Warning tonight at the NM State Fair. The Warning is a rock group made up of three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico. Dani: guitar and vocals. Paulina: drums and vocals. Alejandra: bass guitar and vocals. The concert was excellent.

Doubled
Rio Grande at 5:30 a.m. this morning running about 4 feet higher than the night before.
We got a major thunderstorm at midnight last night that dumped almost 3/4 of an inch of rain. When I got up, the rain gauge showed double the amount of rain from when I went to bed. We now have 1.43 inches of rain for the month. I did another five-mile walk in the rain again this morning.

The Rio Grande at 7:00 a.m. this morning up another 2 or more feet from 5:30 a.m.
The place where I stepped down to take the 5:30 a.m. photo was under water at 7:00 a.m.
Jake met me at the gate and got a short ride to my parking spot when I got home this afternoon.

The river had gone down about 4 feet by dusk. The place I step down to take photos was no longer underwater, but too muddy to step on, unless you’re a dog.
Water was still flow the full width of the river at dusk.
Fool In The Rain
I walked five miles in the rain this morning. I didn’t see another soul. Even the parking area near my turn-around point was empty this morning. There are usually one or two cars parked there when I walk by around 6:15 a.m. I was the only fool out walking in the dark, in the rain. We have now received 0.51 inches of rain this month.
