During the evening of Friday, June 6th through noon June 7th, central Indiana was deluged by rain and flooding. In some areas, rainfall exceeded 10 inches. Perry Commons was lucky. We received "only" 4.34 inches of rain, as measured by my weather station here at Perry Commons. Below is the result. In the first 10 days of June 2008, Perry Commons received 8.2 inches of rain.
