Some light rain and drizzle will continue for a few more hours, but the bulk of this major 3-day rain event is in the record books. In the extended entry below is a list of unofficial rainfall tallies from around the area. Looks like Snow Creek remained on top, with just over 11 inches since Wednesday. 4 to 8 inches seems to be common. Sounds more like snowfall totals than rain, doesn't it?
I'm skeptical about a few of these, like the Blacksburg NWS reporting 3.52 and Virginia Tech Airport getting 1.87, when they are right across the street from each other. Again, these are unofficial and will need some fine tuning and double-checking later.

Julie PuuriHi, Kevin; We got 4.14" total storm event in our part of Floyd Co. (Check), enough to raise the level of our pond an impressive 2'6". Large rocks that were showing are now completely submerged, and fishies are much happier with the influx of fresh water. Noticed some violets have bloomed, and one benefit of the warm Oct. is that the garden is still producing! That will come to an abrupt end as the temps fall tomorrow and Mon. nights.

Kevin MyattRick Post in Wytheville emailed a report of 7.10 inches he measured there.
The final official tally for the Roanoke Regional Airport since Wednesday ... counting the final .01 that fell this morning after midnight ... is 5.11.
