Here is an AP article & NWS record report for yesterday:

QUOTES:

"Storms dampened Labor Day activities from the Midwest to the Northeast on
Monday, pummeling Indianapolis with more than 7 inches of rain, washing out
parades across Ohio and causing delays at the U.S. Open in New York.

The weather service reported Monday afternoon that 4-10 inches of rain had
fallen across parts of central Indiana since Sunday morning. More than 7.1
inches had fallen in Indianapolis by early evening Monday, breaking a
108-year-old record of 6.8 inches in a calendar day. "

Here is the NWS record report for Indianapolis. This is very
impressive. It's one thing to set a record rainfall for a "date", for
example, Sept. 1, but another to set a record for ANY 24-hour period for a
station that has over 100 years of records!

RECORD REPORT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA
535 PM EST MON SEP 1 2003

...RECORD MAXIMUM DAILY RAINFALL IN A CALENDAR DAY...

AS OF 5 PM EST...7.10 INCHES OF RAIN WAS MEASURED AT THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE IN INDIANAPOLIS TODAY. THIS RAINFALL AMOUNT
BREAKS THE PREVIOUS MAXIMUM RAINFALL RECORDED IN A CALENDAR DAY. THE
PREVIOUS CALENDAR DAY RECORD WAS 6.80 INCHES SET ON SEPTEMBER 4TH
1895.

IN OTHER WORDS...SINCE RECORDS HAVE BEEN KEPT AT
INDIANAPOLIS...TODAY IS THE RAINIEST DAY EVER. PRECIPITATION AND
TEMPERATURE RECORDS HAVE BEEN KEPT AT INDIANAPOLIS SINCE 1871.

THE RECORD AMOUNT WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE EVENING
