21.70 inches in southern Escambia County in the far western panhandle of Florida.
This is from a Cocorahs observer so you can assume it's correct.
Click on the link and go to the last county in the western panhandle.

Wow!!!  There are 13 and 14 inch totals to his/her NE and a 10 inch to his/her SW.  Nice find.

Wow. I am not sure how you would even keep up with the rain. I am not sure what the maximum amount in the overflow (main tube) is, but I would guess that it is about 12"-14" or so.
The observer must have been pretty diligent and measured and dumped the gauge a couple of times.

Very diligent observer indeed. Check out his observation and very important comments at:

The gauge holds a total of approx 11 inches.

I agree.  That level of percision is admirable in that weather.

I don't know. I think anyone of us who has a gauge would do the same thing.
If it was me I would be worried about how much I was losing while filling up the small tube 11 times.

I have a spare big tube to swap in case of ice/snow, or torrential rain (not likely here).  Keep the little tube inside for measuring.

This is a pic from a neighborhood in Escambia County. I couldn't help but notice the house on the right has their sprinklers running after all that rain. Rolling Eyes

Wow! 21.7 inches is incredible! While the Gulf gets its drowning of rain (Good for the Southeast though Smile), I get my first rainfall over a trace since joining Rolling Eyes

I guess the CoCoRaHS folks read this forum!  Smile

This is from the last newsletter:

I particularly want to point out the 24-hour report submitted by FL-ES-2 on the morning of June 10th. They reported a remarkable 21.70" of rain in 24 hours including 11.65" 2 hours and 28 minutes and nearly 21" in just 8 hours. Think about that for just a moment. What would that do in your neighborhood?  To add insult, they got another 8" in the days preceding and following bringing their June total to over 30".
