I love it so far!  It has a wireless outside unit that goes outside, and a base station inside that records rainfall, temps and wind info. Since I installed it yesterday, it has recorded 1.5 inches of rain! (Maybe I should have gotten one sooner..? ) Outside unit mounted about 12' up in a clearing. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Wg1dZBZ.jpg) Inside unit. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/buzpFpk.jpg) I got the non-connected one. They make one that connects to wifi, and you can monitor it from anywhere with a phone ap. But I'm rarely gone from here long enough to mess with that..

Uh-oh. It only measures wind speed to 99 mph!

Uh-oh. It only measures wind speed to 99 mph! Yeah, even the one at the NWS station at the regional airport failed during Hurricane Harvey. The can only estimate winds of 120mph plus during that... I have a better method now. If the oak trees are sideways, you can count on winds over 100mph!

I have a better method now. If the oak trees are sideways, you can count on winds over 100mph! Perhaps take cover prior to that! Our 74+ mph winds don't get names.

I'm thinking I need a station though.

First "tank rain" in over 2 years. Catfish are happy! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yRxoSRO.jpg)

Anyone in need of rain........................ I'm for hire.
All I gotta do is trailer my lawn tractor to your place, start it up and mow. Rain guaranteed in under 30 minutes.

That is pretty cool. My kids are all young enough to be interested in the weather. Might need to get one. I am worried about the girls when they hit teenage years. I have a flagpole in a clearing that would be perfect.
Glad you are getting the much needed rain. Pond looks great.
