A record amount of rain fell in West Palm Beach on Wednesday, breaking a 105-year-old record.

Thunderstorms dumped 2.32 inches at the Palm Beach International Airport.  

This toppled the record for the date of 1.79 inches, which was set in 1911.

West Palm Beach's record comes a day after Vero Beach had 11.22 inches, breaking a record for most rain in one day set on Jan. 21, 1957.
