I don't have a gauge here, so all I can say it's really wet.

Just over 2” out of this storm.

What a wet period this has been.
Great for reservoirs and recharging ground water levels.

Less than half that here - approaching 0.9" but we're about done.  Still without a 1"+ day this year.

PWM reported 2.20" from 2 AM thru 2 PM.  Might be a few puddles there.
