2.9" sound good? Looking to fill in my map with numbers. So anyone with new totals please report! Ya that’s just about right. My actual gauge reading is 2.4” but I got it out there after several good downpours Location in West Belleville?

Lots of vehicles getting stranded in st. Clair county. Very close to areas over 3 inches on radar.
What's crazy is in West Belleville we probably had an inch or more before 6. I was in millstadt where it hadn't even rained yet, 6 miles away. The phone sirens went off in millstadt and everybody thought it was a joke. Areal coverage of the warnings was terrible tonight, but well needed where it actually had been raining.

This will probably end up being one of those systems like we see in the winter that doesn't pan out to earlier forecasts, and makes the ill-informed public distrust the weather forecasters, without trying to listen and understand how things change as we approach events. Makes me crazy when people act that way. It appears Florence will be a huge story next week. Its looking like a matter of intensity at landfall now as opposed to whether or not a landfall will occur. Most of my co-workers got a rain day today. It's days like this that will cause us to work in the rain next time.

I had never looked closely at the design of one of those before,but the canopy and low profile make those things death traps. They need to be banned

I feel profound sadness and anger over the duck boat tragedy. Sadness for the loss of life. I'm a new parent as of May and i cant imagine the grief families are feeling. The loss of life is tremendous and we are probably looking at whole families lost.
The anger comes from reading this statement from the tour boat owner:
"This business has been operating for 47 years and we've never had an incident like this or anything close to it. To the best of our knowledge – and we don't have a lot of information now – but it was a fast-moving storm that came out of basically nowhere is sort of the verbal analysis I've got," Pattison said.
11 dead, 5 missing after tour boat capsizes in Branson, Missouri According to Pattison, the boats do have life jackets on board but passengers are not required to wear them by law.
"Usually the lake is very placid and it's not a long tour, they go in and kind of around an island and back. We had other boats in the water earlier and it had been a great, sort of calm experience," Pattison said.
He added that the captain of that particular boat had 16 years of experience with the company, Ride the Ducks.
"You know, they have a very good record. So, again, this seems to be sort of almost a micro storm effect of something that no one was expecting to happen the way that it did," Pattison said.
Some of the victims were children. Police say the search for survivors is not over.

the "it came out of nowhere" excuse is a load of horse manure. As this forum has shown, this storm was severe for quite some time and well warned. Gross negligence is the problem here.

2.16" for me. My sister, in the west end of Belleville, got over 5 inches of rain. I wasn't home but saw pictures of street flooding in Belleville.

While over 40K are without power in Illinois, this is still light years better then 12 years ago when it was closer to a million plus from that Derecho, things and smart grid have come along way. Most people that are still without power should get it back today, unlike back in 2006 when it took up to several days to restore everyone. Things could of been far worse. Ameren deserves huge props for their investment in tree trimming and other improvements. That certainly helped. The other mitigating factor was that this was centered east of stl for the most part. 06 took out a bigger swipe of the metro. Shift this 15 miles west and it's much worse. I agree that the area bounded by 255 on the west, 64 to the north, green mount road to the east, and rt 15 to the south took the brunt of it last night. Roughly the area impacted by the tor warning. We lost power for 4 hours, but luckily our outage was 570 customers. I'm sure it will take most of the day and into tomorrow to get everybody back online. There are a lot of small single customer outages in the ogles neighborhood of West Belleville.

Can someone post radar from the second tornado warning? I assume you're talking about this one in IL? Very robust mesovortex there. Definitely deserved a warning and produced damage in the area. Not sure if that produced a tornado though. However, pretty sure the unwarned mesovortex to the east did... No. The one around centreville estl and Belleville

Well, this is an interesting snippet from the morning disco: The warm front will lift north Wednesday night as low level flow turns to the west-southwest. The GFS spits out some light QPF after 06Z in response to the warm advection...however the ECMWF and NAM are dry over our area so will hold off adding PoPs for now. Of more concern is Thursday afternoon/evening. Both the GFS and NAM are developing a strong MCS over Iowa, and then turning it southeast and moving the system along the Mississippi River late Thursday afternoon into the evening. Both models are showing some pretty
extreme instability with MLCAPE in the afternoon in excess of 5000
J/Kg ahead of the MCS track. This set up is reminiscent of the July
19th 2006 derecho which impacted western Illinois and eastern
Missouri. We currently have a dry forecast on Thursday and Thursday evening and we still have a little while to watch this develop in the models, but Thursday afternoon and evening could get very interesting. Regardless of precip chances, it looks hot on Thursday at the beginning of our heat wave with highs likely reaching the mid and upper 90s. High humidity in the wake of rain earlier in the week will likely produce heat index values in excess of 105 degrees across most if not all of the forecast area. Just going to leave this right here.
