I heard that somewhere near Galena there was 8 to 10 inches of rain yesterday. Also a small pocket northwest of Dubuque shows 10" on the NWS map.
I started paying attention when the Mississippi went up over a foot today. I knew the Wisconsin River was already high, I was just up that way this week.
Researching today, I see incredible amounts of rain north of my folks place here on the Mississippi. They are predicting an 8 foot rise by Monday here. Unprecedented during my short lifetime, anyway. Good thing I built a levee here back in 2001!
Anyway, hope all is well with your folks. (I thought of them when I was in Galena on Tuesday.)
