We live east and south of Montgomery proper and are "blessed" with what is known as Prairie mud, prairie soil, or gumbo. It swells and shrinks based on moisture content. Prior to the rain the open cracks in the ground were up to four inches wide, three feet deep, And two to five feet long. I would venture to say the first two inches of rain never left our property. Also, all of the upstream ponds in the Martin watershed likely captured a good bit of the rain because they were quite low from the lack of rain.
