Folks in Ames woke up Sunday morning to a surprising amount of rainfall produced by very efficient and rather quiet storms during the early morning hours. The featured chart presents the one minute interval rainfall reports from the Ames Airport. Between about 2:30 and 4:30 AM, a majority of the reported four inches fell. The automated weather sensor only briefly reported "thunder in the vicinity" during this event, so the quiet nature of the storm likely meant that most people slept through it and awoke to a full rain gauge!
