J.B. Elliott provided his usual exhaustive list of rainfall totals over at Alabamawx.com this morning. Virtually the entire State of Alabama received rainfall yesterday in a system that seemed more like something we would see in mid-November than mid-August. I took the liberty of copying J.B.'s list and sorted it from highest to lowest rainfall totals.
