June 28 rainfall

We got some significant precipitation in the area on June 28th.  At the UW weather station we recorded 43.8 mm during the day, the most intense part occurred between 2:15 and 2:45 pm when 16.8 mm came down.

This translates to what is referred to as a 1 in 2 year rainfall, that is not something that normally result in the numerous flooded streets and parking lots in the region.  Thus it is probable that a storm of this nature had areas of more intense rain that caused the localized flooding.
