Other than your own rain guage, I have found NOAA.gov to be the best way to find out actual rain fall amounts for an area. I have been monitoring rainfall this morning for the Mineola/Quitman area where NOAA monitors and reports rainfall every 15 minutes or so from the Wood County Airport. This gives me an accurate account since we are only about a mile from there.
So far it looks like we received about 1 1/2 inches - with plenty more on the way!
