"Continental U.S. rainfall record for a tropical cyclone falls

The highest 4-day official rainfall amount from Harvey as of 10 am CDT Tuesday has been 49.32" at Marys Creek, according to NOAA/NWS/WPC. This breaks the previous all-time record for continental U.S. rainfall from a tropical cyclone or its remnants: 48.00" in the Texas hill country from Tropical Storm Amelia of 1978. We still have a few inches to go to break the record from Hawaii, though: 52.00" in Hurricane Hiki of 1950."
