We checked the weather at Wunderground.com and could see that this band of heavy rain was going to pass lengthwise over the Gulf Creek watershed. So we got all of the rain, while Ithaca, 6 miles (9.5km) to the south (gray arrow), got less than one inch

The white arrow shows the location of The Bridge at Ruth's Waterfall.

The red arrow is the general direction of the storm movement.

When we saw this, we rushed out to see how The Bridge would fare.
