Hi Pete,

It started raining here in Macaé at 5pm and rained all night, but we must have been right on the edge of it because it didn't really rain very hard.

Cheers,
James

it started raining here about 5 as well and stopped around 4 in the morning
I don't know how much rain we had, but I had a dry well that is 8 meters deep that's full of water now

The hardest hit areas were around Iguaba Grande, Saquarema, Silva Jardim and Araruama in the Lagos Region. Iguaba Grande got 109mm of rain in 4 hours, an amount expected over 15 days.

Some pretty shocking video (in Portuguese): http://g1.globo.com/rj/regiao-dos-lagos … o-rio.html
