Radar definiately shows over 8" on Island. Max on scope is listed as 28.8"
by AccuWeather.com for the last two weeks, however this is sometimes
inaccurate due to the radar's misinterpretation of mountain clutter.

HOWEVER, Storm Reports from the area have verified nearly 26" of rain from
this event. Below is the NHC's Tropial Outlook Statement from this
morning, followed by the reports.
