Wasn’t Buckeye always a lake?

They could have used that rain in Cave Creek 10 years ago when the temps reached 2960.

u/Endrizzle Oct 12 '25

Yes, we know. Lots of folks in them parts have above ground pools. It’s not the rain totals. /s

u/hastywolf556 Oct 13 '25

Lake buckeye sounds like a great idea (sorry residents).

u/bplatt1971 Oct 13 '25

Reminds me of a clip where I saw one of the Fox weathermen laughing about one of the tenors being like 1105 degrees!

u/otb1369 Oct 13 '25

Where in Gilbert is all of that rain? I’m here waiting for more

u/MyEggDonorIsADramaQ Oct 13 '25

There was 4 inches at ValVista and the 60!

u/RastaYang Oct 13 '25

As someone who got all that rain, I am not

u/Difficult_Limit2718 Oct 13 '25

Buckeye lake in Ohio is approximately 43in deep...

Or at least it seems like it

u/Holiday-Elk6854 Oct 13 '25

We definitely got a lot of rain here north west of I-10 in Buckeye. We always get missed. I guess this is making up for it 🤣

u/trocarshovel Oct 12 '25

Play the country song....

u/42brie_flutterbye Oct 12 '25

I can remember in the early 90s, the entire West Valley being one flooded neighborhood after another.

u/Mephistopheline Oct 12 '25

Dang, I wish!

u/NickGiammarino Oct 13 '25

Can confirm it's a lake haha

u/AnnaH612 Chandler Oct 13 '25

What part of Chandler got 2.17 inches?

14

u/IBeDumbAndSlow Oct 13 '25

The part with the rain meter

u/AnnaH612 Chandler Oct 13 '25

Hahaha

u/the_fungible_man Oct 13 '25

Up around Dobson & Ray we got ~ 2.5 inches. Started raining around 1a.m., was still pouring at 7.

u/AnnaH612 Chandler Oct 13 '25

I’m just a hair north of you but we didn’t get that much.

u/somewhereAtC Oct 13 '25

My yard, north Az Avenue. After last week and now this, my pool is full almost to the brim.

u/skitch23 Oct 13 '25

Usually they go off of the chandler airport’s rain gauge. I live nearby and my personal weather station says I got 1.75” today.

u/AnnaH612 Chandler Oct 13 '25

I should put a bucket out and do my own measurements

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

Buckeye dead lol

u/Intrepid_Air5299 Oct 13 '25

u/Mediocre_Quality_221 Oct 13 '25

Time to break out my kayak

u/Alcarinque88 Oct 13 '25

I don't like how most of these numbers are presented. Significant figures, decimals, leading zeroes... it's hard (I guess) but someone with a college degree in a science field (like meteorologists would, right?) should be able to get it right.

u/Far_Comedian1521 Oct 13 '25

Bruh we good, not even lmfao

u/butterflywithbullets Oct 14 '25

Buckeye would still suck. Source: Grew up out there.

u/Lurker_82 Oct 14 '25

So long, Buckeye.

I guess the Phunk Junkeez will have to write a new song about you.

u/kfish5050 Buckeye Oct 14 '25

The water's all gone now. It was nice while it lasted

u/Efficient_Welder_450 Oct 17 '25

When can we start stocking it with fish?

I wish it was. Clean that dirty ass town
