Default Extreme Flooding Coverack & surrounding area. 200mm rain. Severe situation.

The rainfall in a bucket reminds me that the highest measured total of 9 inches for the Lynmouth flood of Aug 1952 came from a bucket that happened to have been left out in the middle of a field.
The biggest source of error in your example is probably the accuracy of the bathroom scales.
