re: I must have 10 inches of rain or more here in mobile over last 24 hours

I guess the saying that "its raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock" except in this case it's a bull that's pissing LOL.

My parents live in Big Point Mississippi which is not very far from Mobile as the crow flies. Pop told me tonight that he got about 12 inches from Claudette and then almost another 8 this afternoon/evening. This is on his weather station rain gauge so it could be off but either he got a shite ton of rain the past few days and he is fairly close to you.

I assume you meant boat!!
