Heavy rain fell across Michiana this past weekend, breaking rainfall records and causing flooding. At South Bend International Airport, 3.81 inches of rain fell, setting a new daily rainfall record, and setting a new record for the most rain in a single day during the month of October. The previous record was 3.47 inches, set October 17th of 1988.
Rainfall totals on Saturday varied quite a bit across Michiana with the majority of rain falling on the northwest side and the least rain accumulating in the south and east side.
