Rain two consecutive nights

I dumped half an inch of precip from my rain gauge at 5:30 a.m. today.

I dumped 2 inches at 5:30 a.m. yesterday, but I'm not sure if that was accurate. I watered the new iris bed I planted for my wife and the rain gauge is right next to it. Perhaps some of the spray got into the gauge, so it's possible we didn't get 2 inches of rain. We got a lot of rain, though; I suspect it was nearly 2 inches, and we needed every 10th of it.
