Robin:

The weather station at Dunloggin Middle School recorded 7.98" over the 
two days. Other stations in the Columbia area recorded 7.25" and up.

You can access this information by going to 
http://www.abc2news.com/01-weather.shtml and clicking on the site list 
link near the bottom of the page. Each of these sites has a WeatherBug 
station, and these links will let you get historical observations.
