9.25 inches

9.25 inches. That is how much rain we had from 5 PM Friday until 5 AM Saturday. A real interesting wind storm came through first, then we got rain. and it sat on top of us and just continued to rain. Here are a few photos.

This shed has a history. Dad had a barn burn in 1965. They replaced it with an aluminum sided pole building. About 15 years ago after Dad decided to put in an irrigator and the shed was in the way. He sold it to a neighbor who jacked it up, put it on a sled, and moved it about half a mile. When that neighbor quit farming my cousin Don bought it. I told you all that to show you this. Friday evening we had some incredible straight line winds that picked up the building and tossed it.
9.25 inches makes strange things happen. Tiles run backwards...

water ponds in places it never ponded before. This is looking north in Walnut Prairie. This is not a creek or river, not flowing water, just surface water
If you look near the left edge of the next photo you can see the blown apart building I showed in the earlier photo. This is flowing out of my milo field on the left into my soybean field on the right.

Here is a scarier photo. It was taken at the Raccoon Creek bridge on Illinois Route 1 just south of West York. When these vehicles were abandoned early this morning the tops were just out of the water. Water was flowing 2-3 feet over the top of the bridge bannisters. The strips across the road are not speed bumps. They are pieces of asphalt from the edge of the road. The water was flowing so fast it picked up the asphalt strips and tossed them. Here is a shot of the edge of the road where they came from.
It's been a challenging year and not getting any better.

I'll add this. The National Weather Service put out this rainfall map of the event. It shows Illinis counties and amount of rainfall by color. We are the dark blue:
