Same thing here. This is the first time I ever had a rain gauge overflow, and the sad thing is that if I had dumped it halfway through, I'm pretty sure it would have overflowed a second time. All the potted plants looked 'refreshed' on Saturday morning, and more like 'drowned' on Sunday morning. All in all, though, we're very lucky in that we don't have anything flooded like so many do right now, and we didn't get the hail that Dave and others got a week or so ago.

We went from no rain to only rain . . . .

I grew up in southeastern Minnesota and I have a lot of family who still lives in that area. My mother lives (or lived) in a first-floor apartment in Rushford, Minnesota that totally flooded Saturday night/Sunday morning. My mother, sister and my sisters two young daughters were able to escape the flooding in the middle of the night. They are all fine. The entire town of Rushford was evacuated.

The television footage of the massive flooding of areas where I grew up, is quite unbelievable.
