4+" rain here overnight.

5" here by now, too. Yeah, it's raining really, really hard right now. But anyway, nothing catastrophic (yet?) They say we're not done and there's more to come.
6.5" by now! But all is OK, we have good drainage.
Edited to add: OK, that was what wunderground dot com was telling me, but I'm listening to WWL-TV news and they say we got over 8" in my suburb. Wow! Not a drop in my house, though. Rain is now gone, no more tornado watch either.
Better heed the words of old Johnny Cash...
We had our "watches" yesterday. Still very windy but know tornado warnings around here yesterday or today. Which is more than okay with me. Hate those things.Following a bunch of tornado warnings on YouTube

Bil2 in northern Mo is on a warning now but may be ending, and Sil1 in western Illinois is under a watch. Bil2 had 0.6” rain in 10 minutes.We had our "watches" yesterday. Still very windy but know tornado warnings around here yesterday or today. Which is more than okay with me. Hate those things.
Thanks, we made it. We (me, the DW and dog) were in the shelter 90+ mins. When I walked back in the house the phone was ringing. It was a neighbor about a mile down the road asking if we were okay and if we had any "tarps". He got some roof damage so I grabbed a couple of tarps I had and took them to him. When I got back home I checked my house and property. Luckily no damaged. I checked my home weather station and it recorded winds up to 45mph and almost 2 inches of rain. I know we got some small hail too but not big enough to cause any damage. Dodged another bullet.^^ Stay safe and bring plenty of snacks to your shelter!
We were spared down this way with only 1.25" rain, no hail or big winds.Thanks, we made it. We (me, the DW and dog) were in the shelter 90+ mins.

Shelter Learning's: I need internet access and an extension of my land line in my shelter and of course as Ronstar pointed out, snacks!
5+" of rain here and still raining. No power loss (yet). My tee time has been cancelled for 2:12 PM today.In the past 24 hours, we have had ~8 inches of rain, some small hail for maybe 15 minutes, 30 to 40mph winds for several hours, thunder and lighting "all night long" and a 2+ hour power outage this morning. Now, sun is coming out. Hope we're done with this "stuff" for a while. Good luck for you folks to the south and east of us, it's heading your way.
