While rain has been difficult to come by in July for Iowa, Oklahoma has seen plenty of it. The featured chart is of one minute interval precipitation for Oklahoma City ASOS on Friday showing extremely intense rainfall. The 5:16 AM minute accumulation was 0.3 inches of rain, which extrapolated to an hour yields a rate of 18 inches! For a rain gauge with a tipping bucket mechanism, this means a tip every 2 seconds! Sadly, OKC's daily total is more rainfall than most of Iowa has seen this July.
