Thunderstorm, rain pelting the windows, bright flickering lightning started at 1:00 a.m. Brightest, most continual lightning I can remember in years. Few loud thunder claps. This went on til 2:30 a.m. Second round started at 5:15 a.m. Heavy rain, more thunder than previously, ending about 5:45 a.m. Expected much more than 3.04". Not aware of any hail. Difficult to sleep during first storm, not from fear or noise; am convinced that such a tremendous amount of lightning has an upsetting electromagnetic effect on the brain. Don't know about road flooding, but only one of my 2 newspapers has been delivered. Overcast, and can see lightning in the east as the storm moves on.

A/C ran during the day, then heat came on at 0630. This storm woke me several times with bright lightning, loud thunder and heavy rain on roof. How could it be only 1.54"?!

Had to mow the fence line a little, and great gobs of mud stuck to the tires and lower frame. Had to use power-sprayer to clean out the tread.

2/19/2012 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M The "dreaded upper level low" finally passed on. Water still standing all over the place.

Then another rain system from a "dreaded upper level low" marched eastward during the evening, and reached Marion about 10:00 pm. Some lightning, gentle thunder, light rain at the beginning.
