So with one bucket tip - Loop reports.  109.245 for rain_total, and .039999 
rain_Rate.

The console reports .01 inches of rain.

When I look at the web output, I also see .01 inches of rain and a rain 
rate of .04 inches /hour    (and the metric version reports .03 mm of rain 
with a rain rate of 1mm/hr)
