How can different areas of TV have so much more rain than me? They must be guessing.
We live in southern Osceola Hills not far from Rohan Rec Center. My weather Station measured max wind gusts at 45 mph. Rain total was 4.5 inches. WE also had a large cooler with the top open in the birdcage to collect rainwater for toilet flushing in case water was out. The water collected was about 4.5 inches deep. Measured by ruler from tip of finger to knuckle.

These are measured not guesses.
