flash flood warning in effect

[Carey]

Went out in the lull, at 4:15 we had 7.45 inches more in our rain gauge, so far no where near record rains, but the first time in almost 2 years I have needed the gauge that measures up to 8 inches of rainfall before being dumped (we replaced our old UVed gauge, & I looked high & low for one that could keep up with what the Hilo side can offer...)
