On that saved image from StormLab, that cell has a DBZ Base Reflectivity of >65. I don't see any storm reports from that cell, and assuming that there wasn't any large hail reports that do show up later, the rainfall rates from that cell were quite astronomical.

yeah-that cell mostly just sat west of me and looked like they received around 5 inches-i wound up with over 2 inches. Rains were definitely needed and we should see some more action this afternoon.

Glad you finally saw some rain Jek. Heads up for another round of rain from an approaching cold front. We had a severe thunderstorm here around 11 central last night.

George and I drove to St. Augustine during that storm and it was torrentially raining just about the whole way until we got off the exit in St. Augustine. It was nerve wrecking for him driving, but he did great. I just enjoyed the storm and lightning.

When I got home last night I was too sleepy to check the rainfall guage but we received 1-9/10" over here on the Southside.
