......
rainRate = 0, 10, inch_per_hour
rain = 0, 10, inch
Since we sometimes has massive rain storms here in the midwest, I keep it
like this.
Back in September we received almost a whole month's of rain in about 3
hours. :)

But, randomly about every two weeks, I will get a spike of anywhere between
30 in/hr to 99 in/hr (four records written to the DB every 300 seconds)
As luck would have it, I have a backup copy of my DB, but I had already
nulled out the records... but here it is for example.
RainRate:
1478168400|2016-11-03 05:20:00|0.0
1478168700|2016-11-03 05:25:00|
1478169000|2016-11-03 05:30:00|
1478169300|2016-11-03 05:35:00|
1478169600|2016-11-03 05:40:00|
1478169900|2016-11-03 05:45:00|0.0
Rain:
1478168400|2016-11-03 05:20:00|0.0
1478168700|2016-11-03 05:25:00|
1478169000|2016-11-03 05:30:00|0.0
Just like clockwork, four records for RainRate that are erroneous and one
record for rain.
Next time it happens, I'll grep for logs and get a copy of the database
entries.
