Just picked up .92" in about 15 mins with this latest round, and still pouring.  FFW issued for a second time for FFCO.  

Very similar experience, my dad thought it was a good time to go on a run five minutes before it happened because according to him they always blow over us, he got drenched. Also even if there is no tornado there is some nasty straight line velocities. Looked like an apocalypse pretty crazy.

Can’t recall the last time I was in two severe warnings in the same day, but separated by a significant amount of time.

I’ve had three rounds. Probably 2010 last time in a day and really just 7 hour period .

1st round rating :

Rain-10

Hail-8

Lightning-8

Wind-5

Other two round unspectacular thus unrated.

I think it’s not area wide but I’ve got 2.3” on the day.

Meh

At least you have power.  Starting to get sticky in here.

2.28” per the tipping bucket including a 13” rate which I can’t recall seeing before.  
 

Took a quick drive around, lots of branches down, but I didn’t see any whole trees.  Streets are littered with:  1) leaves from cicada damage, and 2) actual litter because it is trash day tomorrow.

2008 and 2006 are the gold standard for multiple rounds.

Only had the one hit today. It was nice, but nothing more than a middle-of-the-road storm.

Glad(?) to hear you got a direct hit. Hope the power comes back soon!

Bullseye again lol. I've got some pretty serious flooding going on in my area. My gardens are taking a pounding today. Unbelievable. Our power was off for about 4 hours. Finally back on. 

Going on 7 hours here.

Just some light to moderate showers here overnight. Some light rain falling now. Grand total of 0.70" for the 'event' so far. Probably a bit more due to the sideways rain in yesterday's storm. iweathernet hi-res shows 0.87" over my yard.

With the front in the area and the upper low still to the NW, there will probably be a few scattered storms today.
