Rain certainly reigned, but it came in two batches. The first came Thursday morning into the afternoon, followed by a big batch of thunderstorms overnight Thursday night.
Curiously, at my home in Farmington Hills, I measured exactly 0.63″ of rain after the first batch ended Thursday afternoon, and then received another 0.63″ Thursday night! For the mathematically challenged, that gave me a total of 1.26."

Brett D’Angelo in Royal Oak tweeted me that he received 0.71″ and 0.70″ in each batch for a 1.41″ total; Jeff Bowman on Grosse Ile tweeted me that he had the exact same total as I did...1.26″; Lori O’Neil tweeted me that she got 1.40″ total rain in southeast Ann Arbor; and Michael Stoughton in Tecumseh, Ontario tweeted me that he received 1.36″.
