I have been away from internet for awhile.At my cabin no internet. I don't have a smart phone either. Wife is down with hers today. I think rainfall estimates are pretty good from the weather service maps. I can get amounts that actually have fallen on my regular phone from weather bug site. From the airports at Ott,Fairfield,Burlington. Yes,,weather service was way off Thurs and Friday. Rain hit western IA Thurs morn with big rains in Des,down into Centerville and Mo,,but died out traveling east.Ott,and My land got 1/2'' but ran out less from there. Another big batch was forecast. For Thurs nite into Friday,but that went down across Lamoni and down into Mo. Across Kansas City.Kirksville,and St Louis. Missed eastern and NE Iowa. All in all though my little part of Iowa has faired great.I have gotten precip every week or 10 days from some front and have yet to dry out!
