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. http://www.cocorahs.org/Maps/ViewMap.aspx |

Click on the link and go to the last county in the western panhandle. http://www.cocorahs.org/Maps/ViewMap.aspxWow. 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. Greg |

That observer deserves a gold star and honorable mention in the next newsletter!  |

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.   |

That observer deserves a gold star and honorable mention in the next newsletter! I guess the CoCoRaHS folks read this forum! 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". |
