Relentless Heavy Rain - Now Going Into Record Books

The respite I spoke of earlier, after 5" of rain in 5 hours was a very short one; the rain returned just minutes after I posted...and it's rained plenty since.
Today's rainfall (and it's still raining) has moved up to the #2 position on the all-time daily record list (exceeded only by the deluge dropped by Hurricane Floyd.)
By 2am, rain totaled 0.50" (with some from before midnight.)
By 2pm, rain totaled 6.54"
So that's 7" of rain by 2pm...but radar clearly showed more on the way....
By 5pm...the rain total reached a whopping 8.83". Zowie!
And now, by 8pm the rain total has reached a staggering 9.94". Oh man!
Worse yet, radar shows still more solid rain lurking over the Atlantic to our south:

Probably not a special weather day for readers here....but in Southeast N.C. it's one for the record books. And we sure don't need any tropical deluge later this week!
From drought to flood; ain't mother nature a beach?
