A blog entry from Bob Henson and Jeff Masters on today's record rainfall.

Records they note:

- "Heaviest rainfall in a 24-hour period, including periods that straddle calendar days: at least 9.04 inches (old record 7.02 inches on August 19-20, 1915, from the remnants of the 1915 Galveston hurricane)"
- "Heaviest calendar-day rainfall: at least 8.60 inches (old record 6.85 inches on August 20, 1915)."

And they highlight the upcoming threat that could come from heavy rain as it moves eastward and impacts some mountainous regions.
