You're taking their warnings out of context and don't understand the wide area of a warning and the word "possible". It didn't mean the area you were living in was guarenteed to get a crap load of rain. I'm done here.
Of course it's a blanketed warning! And i'm taking nothing out of context!

The fact they issued a heavy rainfall warning means we were going to get some heavy rain. And yes the amounts may vary from where you live.

I'm done here also.

At least I got 18 holes in yesterday.

It's nice when you show up at the course in the rain, but the rain stops before you tee off. My feet still got wet, but the course only had one group in front of us and I had my best round of the year so far (but I don't play a lot).

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Only I played my worst round - military golf the whole afternoon

Nope, it was 92.4mm, if my memory serves correctly. Within a few mm of our average monthly rainfall for June.

Maybe not, I wasn't even here for it. I was just going off of what David Spence said. Blame him.

Add the next days precip (from the rest of the storm) and you get the 90+ mm. You are both correct - the 90+mm is from the storm, of which 72mm came down on the 5th.

Right. And what they said was the 92mm was over an 18 hour period. It all depends on how you define a day.
