Ken how much did you get in the Morpeth floods of September 2008?

Hi, Will,
September 2008
4th 0.5mm
5th 56.5mm
6th 11.0mm
7th 2.5mm
7th 1.3mm

Not sure where to draw the line, I didn't used to be into rainfall "events",
but I think all those readings were from the same system without a break, so
around 70mm.
It was much heavier further north.
The high totals we get in easterlies boost our wettest day to 43mm which is
quite high for a rain-shadow area, I think?
