Must have been the rate because the volumes are not really that big. We showed a little over 2" on the slouch wise gauge. The pond didn't go up hardly any and the creek is till a trickle so it mostly soaked in. I slept through most of it after the first clap of thunder and the cats went ape.

NWS shows over 6-1/2” @ Will Rogers airport, and there’s an area to the SE of Norman that evidently got a lot more than that. Granted that last is an estimate (radar ap) rather than an actual measurement like NWS, but, Mesonet shows a lot of heavier rain SE of Norman too. So, there must have been some spots that got several inches of rain pretty quickly. I can believe it: A bit south of me, near Mayfield KY, last summer, NWS had an official recording of 11.28” in 13 hours.

Scanning the river gauge reports this morning, it looks like the few big jumps in water levels (15 feet - good grief!) receded quickly. Thank goodness for that!
