UPDATED 11:30 am FOR ADDITIONAL REPORTS
(The updated amounts are all posted at the top of the list.)
No, you will not hear the the D-4 Drought has been cancelled.
No across-the-board lifting of water restrictions.
Lakes and reservoirs will not fill and overflow.
Rivers will not overflow and flood the entire countryside.
None of that . . .but…
This rain event was a God-send and by far the most significant rain event in a long, long time. This list may be overkill, but since the drought has been front-page news so long, I thought you would like to see as many reports as possible.
This list is 24-hour amounts and in some cases 36-hour or storm totals. I feel sure I will overlook some reports, if so I can add those later:

Remember, a lot of these places got more than we show, because this rain event has already lasted well past 24 hours and a lot of these reports cover only the last 24 hours.
And the rain event is not over.
