1.65 rain here

Decatur Daily Democrat:

"There's water everywhere!" city Street/Sanitation Superintendent Jeremy Gilbert said at 8 a.m. today.

All city streets were passable, but water was standing on a number of them, including High St., in the low area near the Knights of Columbus. During a time of the year when they might be moving snow, street department employees were putting out high-water signs.

The minor flooding was the result of a lot of rain in a short time combined with snow melt.

City weather station officials recorded 1.65 inches of rain up to 7 a.m., and nearly all of that came in a period of four to six hours.
