I think the tornado bit is overkill.

I think you are probably right. Really heavy rain falling right nowq though.

My laptopdied and I hate typing on this tablet. Its been raining at 3-4" hour for the last 15 minutes

Awesome!
I'm sitting on 4.04" in the last 24 hours, 3.11" since midnight, and 1.63" the last hour... and it's still raining pretty good.
My Davis weather station console just told me "It's raining cats and dogs."
Someone had a sense of humor! :-)

I submitted a heavy rain storm report to the NWS just a few minutes ago. That kind of rain is worthy of a report!

STARTING OUT WITH AN ACTIVE AFTERNOON WITH A TORNADO WATCH FOR MUCH
OF THE CWA AND THIS IS THE MAIN STORY FOR THE SHORT TERM. WARM FRONT
HAS LIFTED INTO NORTH GEORGIA...NORTH OF THE ATL TO AHN LINE. WEDGE
IS WORKING AGAINST THE WARM FRONT TO KEEP IT FROM PUSHING INTO
NORTHEST GA AT LEAST FOR NOW. THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA IS IN THE WARM
SECTOR WITH DEW POINTS IN THE LOW 70S. IN ADDITION...1500 TO 2000
J/KG OF SB CAPE HAS PUSHED INTO THE ATL AREA WITH AROUND 30KTS OF
LOW LEVEL SHEAR ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN
ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF ISOLATED TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WIND
HOWEVER ITS BEEN SLOW TO DEVELOP TODAY DUE TO THE DEEP MOISTURE
THROUGH THE MID LEVELS. ALTHOUGH ISOLATED SVR STORMS ARE POSSIBLE
WITHIN THE AREA OF SHOWERS CURRENTLY ACROSS THE CWA...ANOTHER AREA
OF CONCERN IS DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS WEST OF THIS LINE.

You're doing pretty good over there!

More rain headed our way. The low hasn't moved much further east and the band that brought us the heavy rain is still with us, bringing additional showers and thundershowers our way this evening. Looks like you'd better empty your gauge Kristi! Looks like the next round will put you over the limit!

Here were some 1 hour rainfall totals when the first heavy batch came through:

I'm thinking of a word... starts with the letter "T"... rhymes with the word "rain"....

=D
