While at work in Old Town Lansing, approx. 5.5 miles from registered location, on Grand River Ave next to Grand River, rain began at approximately 1pm, became extremely heavy, by shortly after 2pm had come up over curb. When I arrived home at registered location approx. 6pm, the gauge read 2.4 inches.

Note - Grand River in Old Town Lansing (at Grand River Avenue, 500 feet downstream from Brenke Fish Ladder) rose extremely fast, though actual level is/was unknown. There is a USGS gauge not far downstream. See http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mi/nwis/uv/?site_no=04113000&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060 for Sept. 16, 2010.

6/4/2010 7:00 PM This goes back to report the hail that accompanied the major wind and rain of June 4, 2010 in the Towar Garden neighborhood, an area of only a few square blocks in northwest Meridian Twp. I didn't witness it falling, I was in the basement cowering with the dog! This was the wind storm that brought down approximately 200 trees in the neighborhood. We have photos of the hail. We also have several pie tins that were outside and were dented by the hail. There was roughly 50% coverage of the ground by the hail in some places, small piles of it along the wood fence. Some of the hail was not melted by the next day, and the next day was still foggy from the hail on the ground. 5/8" NA 1/4" Pea Size Hard|White Ice 10 3min shredded leaves True Same time as rain
