Just seen the news on ITN. Someone gave a rainfall totals figure of 42 mm.
Seems a hell of a lot more than that. There may well have been no rain
gauges on the areas where there was most rainfall.
I saw one small stream had risen in height to over 7 metres, 21 feet,
and pulled large mature trees from the ground. Surely in some small
localities rainfall totals must have been well in excess of 100 mm. This
total falling in under an hour. It would have to be something like that to
get that sort of runoff.
