The heavy rains that caused some flood damage and other problems on Saturday have eased, but the cleanup continues.
Rochester saw just over 2.3 inches of rain which broke a daily record set back in 1873.
Some area creeks overflowed their banks, including a usual trouble spot in Monroe County at Ellison Park.
The Irondequoit Creek caused flooding in that area, in parts of Brighton and Penfield.
There is still a flood warning in effect for that part of the county until 2pm Sunday.
Local fire departments were kept busy on Saturday, pumping out basements, and area highway crews worked to clear debris that was clogging up storm sewers.
Sunday's forecast calls for showers to end, with cloudy skies and a high in the mid 70s.
