MN rainfall record = 15.1"

Rainfall Sets State Record In SE Minn.

Excerpt:

Weather officials say the rains that flooded southeastern Minnesota last weekend set a state record for rainfall during a 24-hour period.

Weather watchers thought the record had been set earlier -- but now it's official.

And the old record was smashed by more than four inches.

The National Weather Service gauge in Germain Davison's farmyard a mile south of Hokah had 15.1 inches in it when he measured it at 8 a.m. Sunday.
