[QUOTE="Allen, post: 325003, member: 389"] My guess is hail contamination, hail really messes up the algorithms used to estimate rainfall totals. So one needs to calibrate the radar estimates with actual rain gauges to establish a bias, for each and every storm. I've heard of rain totals in excess of 5 inches in that area. Much of the rain has fallen in the Prairie Pothole Region, so not a lot of developed creeks and streams to flood, but normally dry gullies are sure to have water in them, some roads probably have water going over them, but this isn't a big deal for any of the NWS' river forecast points in the James River basin. The streams that will jump the most are Cottonwood, Bear, Beaver, and Bonehill creeks south of Jamestown.
