Very Heavy Rain Event

[Thomas F. Giella NZ4O]

Hi Dan I hope that you enjoyed the hurricane conference.

I have a late severe weather report for you.

5.7 miles south of Lakeland POL-10A

Rainfall- 4.27" between 6:13-11:59 pm
Rainfall- 2.00" between 6:30-7:30 pm

Considerable flooding of streets, drainage ditches, holding ponds, streams 
and open fields. One building roof collapse. Lot's of stalled and flooded 
cars. Failed to heed turn around don't drown rule.

Nearby CoCoRaH's rain gauges measured 5.88" and 6.02" respectively. This 
verifies the 4-6" rainfall estimate by your radar for my area. See virus 
free attachment.

The thunderstorm formed overhead and rained itself out with very little 
movement of the storm for six hours.

This is the single largest rainfall event that I've measured at this 
location going back to September 2005.

My May rainfall total is now 5.19", year 10.01"

Take Care,
