Big Rain Event (Updated)

UPDATED TO CORRECT WEAVER TOTAL AND ADD OTHERS

A wide swath from North/Central Alabama looked like the US-280 at rush hour, except it was thunderstorms instead of cars. Earlier, a big bunch of storms had moved down from the Tennessee Valley and then storm after storm moved west to east across teh area late yesterday and last evening. The lightning was (place your own adjective here) ferocious. Here we go with a list of rain totals. We may add to this list later depending on time issues.
