Not exactly sure.
Holy shitballs did it pour in North Iowa tonight. Drained the rain gauge from. Last night at about 3 inches. So it was empty. Started raining at about 8 and it was a nasty storm when rain stopped checked again and it was about 6 inches. My rain gauge is also in a terrible spot and under a tree so it's likely it rained much more. Wind Bent my flag pole over and the town sign south of Town blew over. I needed four shop vacs running constantly for the better part of 3 hours in my basement to keep my house from floating away. Will be interesting to asses any further damage in the AM.
You gotta me around me and @cmjh10 with those numbers.

Mitchell county. I drove around this morning to survey damage. There is some pretty bad tree damage in localized places. The cemetery on the south side of town had about a dozen flag poles bent over. I pulled in to get the flags off the ground but someone already had. I called my parents who live only about 5-6 miles Noth of me and they only had 3 inches. We had 8-9 in town.

Sioux Falls turn now. Almost 4 inches where I'm at but I have a friend on the SE side of town who 7 inches in their gauge. And it's still raining, albeit lighter than before.

All of this rain stuff treated my part of the Twin Cities well. Around six inches since Tuesday but not more than 1.75" in any given day and not more than 3/4" in any given hour. Lucky us, just about perfect for the dry here.

Dug up some flowers and hostas yesterday, was thinking maybe too wet to do that, and was surprised the soil was just sort of normal moist, not really that wet. #dry_sponge
