UPDATED AT 10:30 AM TO ADD 8 MORE REPORTS ALL AT THE TOP
Just what we needed in Alabama. A rain event that covered most or all of the state during the last three days. An added plus was that a good part of the rain was a slow steady rain that allowed almost all of it to soak in. However, there was also some thunderstorms thrown into the mix that dumped some heavy rain. Even a few trees down.
This is a list of amounts just in the 24 hours ending this morning with a few notes about two-day totals.

A GEOGRAPHY NOTE
The good ole USA covers 3,539,341 square miles and the highest point is Mt. McKinley in Alaska at 20,320 feet. Compare that with Alabama’s highest elevation, Mt. Cheaha at 2,407 feet! (My second love is photography and geography)
