Any red dot on this map is ~12+ inches of rain over the last two days and it's likely there was much more at higher elevations. The gap in coverage northeast of Asheville is where Mt. Mitchell, highest point east of the Mississippi, is. It and nearby Busick got over 2 feet. 🌊🧪

To be clear, these are two-day summaries of the observations from two different networks of volunteer ("cooperative") networks: left is CoCoRaHS and right is the NOAA Cooperative Observer Program (COOP).
