Much needed rain in eastern Iowa at least.

Great now I will have to mow.

Dark off to the west but I am feeling Debbie Downerish on how much rain we'll get. Also hoping that if it does downpour, the amount of sprinklers and hand watering we've been trying to do will keep the ground soft enough to absorb it and not just run off but I'm really pessimistic about that.

It rained really hard in and around Middleton last week and you would hardly know it two days later.

Anything damaging to houses in Ankeny? We’re out of town this week so hoping we got a good rain but no hail and high wind.

I can't account for all of Ankeny, but at least in my part of town (far NE side) there was no real wind to speak of and no hail. Just a good soaking.

It's been sprinkling/light rain in the CR area so far, nothing overnight. The sky is getting really dark with lightning and thunder now, so hopefully will get a decent downpour.

Been raining decently here on the West side.

The underpass on Grand in Ames was closed due to flooding with 2"- 4" reports around the area. We live close to the high school and someone said their gauge was at 4.25" Heard a weird noise in our basement.....our sump pump!! It's only run once in the last couple of hours so at least it still works yet.

Holy ****, we're actually going to get real rain.

I am so envious. The little spritz I heard hitting my flat roof last night for a minute or two didn't even register on the official rain gauges (aka dust bins) around the Twin Cities.

yeah we got a half inch last Wed or Thurs? Grass didn't even try to green up.

Was just told tree damage, semi trailers tipped and roof on lumber yard blown off all in Harlan and areas just south. Dont know about rain totals there.

Conductix on the south edge of Harlan had part of its roof taken off. Someone else said that Council Bluff is a mess, but then again it's kinda been that way for awhile. The storm just made it worse.

Welcomed the 2" of rain at my house. Did not welcome the 1" hail that came with it. Norwalk. Thankfully most were smaller than this.

4.1 inches that started around 1, then stopped, then I went to sleep, then I woke up around 7 and it started pouring about an hour later. 75 degrees outside and my AC is running.
