Saw a couplet that died fast. Also saw a pretty decent couplet before the warning east of Easley.

Nothing too severe up the mountain but steady, steady rain and thunder for the better part of 4 hours.

The last reading for Hendersonville was at 1:00p with 1.23 inches being picked up. I assume the total before all is said and done will be around 2". That'll total around 6" for the last 7 days.
